Rainy Day Egret
SELF | May 14,2009 | swampsniper

Fishing is harder on cloudy days, the fish and small crustaceans aren't as visible. This snowy Egret was just waiting for a break.

No major faults, it’s a good basic DSLR. Sony has been making sensors for some of the other major lines for some time, and that is the heart of the camera.

I’ve been seeing a lot of egrets lately. They’re fun to watch. So graceful looking.

I hope you still have the egrets I shipped from my patio to yours many moons ago.........along with kitchen cleanser, hose, broom and note saying, "You now own my egrets.....with no regrets, smooches, MinuteGal".

Oops, the above post should have been addressed to my old pal and fellow egret lover, Gonzo.

A little bit of bird poop doesn’t hurt a thing! Gators can really make a mess!

If you have time to worry about bird poop on the patio you are goofing off too much!

I'm just happy elephants can't fly.

Now don't you pick on me. You just wait till Gonzo gets here and tells you the sad story of his lost egret song parody.

There was oncea a lady on a local forum who complained that while she was visting the alligator farm one of the gators pooped in the water. I never did figure out what she expected them to do! She was really outraged, LOL

Wow! Wonderful pictures as always, but these somehow hit me as even more sharply focused on the beautiful subject, just like the rabbit pics you posted. It seems like you’re getting even better at this which I didn’t think was possible ...

Thanks, the Sony DSLR is a little smoother than my other camera, not really sharper, but the effect is better. The images have a finer grain because of the larger sensor. The minute details stand out more,
