Walking on Water

Once I saw a pair of these Western Grebes running across the water like this I knew that I wanted to capture it on camera.

But you don’t always get what you want!

Finally after being in the wrong spot, to far away, a bit out of focus and after many mornings in a pair of chest waders

under a floating blind, I captured this incredible moment.
