I was exploring the newly restored wetlands area behind a recent mixed-use residential development in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby when a heron awkwardly landed in the water a couple of feet in front of me. Startled, I snapped off a single shot that is actually the best animal photograph I've ever taken.
