Herons Crossing

This an image of two baby herons near their nest. I was walking back from the weekly market, walking though a trail that was a shortcut back when I spotted them in a tree not far away, but they didn't spot me. I hid behind bushes and was lucky to get this interesting composition of the two birds.
