Sunset, Everglades National Park, Thousand Islands Visitor Center

I went to the waterfront to catch a "big orange ball" type sunset over the water, but a cloud bank obscured the sun at the horizon just as it was setting. Fortunately the sky had a nice soft orange glow, and this heron stopped by to pose for a couple of minutes.
