Fishing...

During a Sunday drive around Lake of the Lilies, 

I noticed this beautiful Egret fishing.

It didn't take long before dinner was served.

That little fish was gone in seconds...

it ruffled it's feathers and took off!


The beautiful River Queen was docked by the Inlet...


and most of the fishing boats were docked for the end of, what I'm sure was, a busy weekend.

It finally cooled off here, but the sun never made an appearance.

- a cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition -

Hello,
Great captures of the Egret fishing. Love the River Queen and the last photo of the fishing boats is cool.
I hope it is cooler here now too. Have a happy day and a great new week!

I’d like a ride on that River Queen. Those are working boats for sure. Fishers come in all shapes and sizes! Love that feathered one!

Love the colors of the River Queen and the Egret is a prize fish catcher.

Oh my he is a beauty isn't he, so fun when you can capture a fish in their mouth :) Love the old fashion boats, there is one that goes up and down the Mississippi here too, we need to do that one time :)

Great pictures as usual. The River Queen is really ..... a Queen!
Poor fish but the Egret needs a lunch too.
