Saturday Critters ~ 48 ~

I went back to the Lake, where I saw Mr. Egret,
2 weeks ago.
You remember Mr. Egret,
the one that wouldn't pose, the one that would not fly off.
Much to my surprise, this visit he had three guests,
each one, more happy then the other, to "Strike a Pose"!!

Get ready, this is going to be a picture overload,
but what's a girl to do when all four Egrets cooperate,
and want their picture taken.

I watched and photographed them for about a half hour.
I was just thrilled with the results!

This image was my favorite,
proving patience really does pay off.

This was my second favorite,
I knew when I took it, it was going to be lovely.








 

This was the only group shot I got,
one of the Egrets was further over in the lake, out of the camera's view.

The hubs was asleep, when I got back to the car.
Some things never change *sigh*

Sharing my wonderful Egret encounter times four with
for Saturday Critters stop by and consider joining in,
any ole' critter will do!

Also sharing my Egret images with
Anni at I'd Rather Be Birding

It certainly was worth your while going back to see the Egrets. Now that first shot is absolutely stunning. I have never seen an Egret in that position. Have a great weekend.

Not an overload at all .. How could you possibly have left any out! All great pictures of my favorite bird ... But that first one is to die for! Glad you shared . Glad your hubby patiently waited ( in the same way mine has been known to do a few times ;)

Jen said...

My favorite is the first, too. It's like he took a bow...

cedarmerefarm said...

I can imagine you all excited when you discovered that your subject and his friends cooperated. All the photos are gorgeous. I agree with you; my favorite is the first one. I think it would look spectacular blown up and framed.
