Grey Heron, Montreal, QC near Parc Des Rapides bird sanctuary in Lasalle, Canada
Rise to the sun, Grey heron!

Species: Grey Heron | Location: Montreal, QC near Parc Des Rapides bird sanctuary in Lasalle, Canada

By Ksenija Vinogradova

As I was quietly sitting on the riverside in early wee hours of the day to catch a golden sun rise above St. Lawrence river, I turned my head and gasped in silent surprise as I seen this stunning Heron standing just few feet away from me. We both watched the sun rise above the water. Amazing companion to have!

About The Photographer

Cropped ksenija vinogradova
My passion is travel and photography – capturing light still and in motion. I have devoted my energy and developed skills through the last 3 years in reaching a goal of being a professional photographer. Currently my day to day work includes Wedding photography and Lifestyle family photo sessions at Puša Studios - a company we founded together with my husband. My road to photography started with our first trip to Iceland, it opened my eyes to untouched beauty of land and wildlife. And although I truly enjoy working on creating memories for our clients and their families, my biggest passion in photography lays, where it began - in Landscapes and Nature.
