Chasing an Egret

Yesterday afternoon, the hubs and I were out and about,

(that means we went out for a light dinner, we don't do much else)

We were headed back home and I wanted to stall,

(that means there was too much work waiting to be done at home)

So I said to the hubs, "let's take a drive down by the marina,

and see if we can find anything".

Now of course you all know what that means!!

So long story short, we struck Egret gold.

At least six and one baby, but no one wanted their picture taken.

Except this guy,

The Great Blue Heron

Funny thing I realized when I got home and plugged in the camera,

he was "in" all the horrible Egret shots and I never saw him!!

He "blended" with all the greenery!!

At some point he must have been offended
at my lack of attention toward him,

he hopped out from the trees and posed for about 5 minutes.

I was so excited, I couldn't breath!!

Note to Nancy Hoho, if you read this, you better not go without me.
