During this capture the friend of mine with me on this hike was taking some hand held captures and at the same time his flash went off ... it added some sparkles there in the tumbling flow :))
Pick your favorite:
Personally, after studying both the mono and color - I finally decided on the color. Believe me, a difficult choice but the golden tones and warmer colors persuaded me.
For me, the mono provided an image of textures, light, contrasts and reflections. It has a cooler look and crisper textural detail, and I tend to favor mono when it there is a fit for it.
You can be your own judge!

Reddish Egret
The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder in Central America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and Mexico. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.
According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States — and most of these are in Texas. They are classified as "Threatened" in Texas and receive special protection.
Egrets are herons which have white or buff plumage and develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from the herons and have the same build.

It is found in pairs or singly, in open plains and desert country, or in thorn bush. A pair has a well-defined home range and will usually be found in and around the same group of trees, from which they make short hunting trips. It is usually seen perched on a tree, or walking about on the ground, when, with its long legs and long tail, it looks almost like a miniature Secretary Bird. Except in the breeding season, it makes only short flights from tree to tree. It spends far more time on the ground than most hawks, and can run very fast in pursuit of prey.
I'm no wave expert, but two wave patterns seemed to be happening at once in the lake when I took this.
The winds were blowing basically left-to-right, and they seemed to be the source of the ephemeral blue waves on top.
The lake currents (it's basically a wide part of a river) were flowing right-to-left at the same time, and those waves are the steely-gray waves below the blue ones.
If you know wave behavior, I'd love to hear what you think about this.
Same little owl but a different perch. I love “the look”
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Mural painting depicting the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus breastfeeding - with an angel watching, dating to the 14th century.
At the church Sant'Andrea, itself dating to the 13th century (first mentioned 1236 - when it replaced an earlier church at the same place) and built in the Romanesque style. The church was badly damaged by bombings during the second world war but has been restored to its original looks.
Same location as this shot, but 30 minutes earlier.
Enjoy!

Esztergom was the capital of Hungary from the 10th till the mid-13th century when King Béla IV of Hungary moved the royal seat to Buda. During the same period, the castle of Esztergom was built on the site of ancient Roman castrum. It served not only as the royal residence until the 1241 (the Mongol invasion), but also as the center of the Hungarian state, religion, and Esztergom county.
After changing his residence to Budapest, Béla IV gave the palace and castle to the archbishop. Following these events, the castle was built and decorated by the bishops. The center of the king’s town, which was surrounded by walls, was still under royal authority. A number of different monasteries did return or settle in the religious center.
Meanwhile, the citizenry had been fighting to maintain and reclaim the rights of towns against the expansion of the church within the royal town. In the chaotic years after the fall of the House of Árpád, Esztergom suffered another calamity: in 1304, the forces of Wenceslaus II, the Czech king occupied and raided the castle. In the years to come, the castle was owned by several individuals: Róbert Károly and then Louis the Great patronized the town.
The Ottoman conquest of Mohács in 1526 brought a decline to the previously flourishing Esztergom as well. In the Battle of Mohács, the archbishop of Esztergom died. In the period between 1526 and 1543, when two rival kings reigned in Hungary, Esztergom was besieged six times. At times it was the forces of Ferdinand I or John Zápolya, at other times the Ottomans attacked. Finally, in 1530, Ferdinand I occupied the castle. He put foreign mercenaries in the castle, and sent the chapter and the bishopric to Nagyszombat and Pozsony.
However, in 1543 Sultan Suleiman I attacked the castle and took it. Esztergom became the centre of an Ottoman sanjak controlling several counties, and also a significant castle on the northwest border of the Ottoman Empire. In the 17th century Esztergom was besieged and conquered several times during the Ottoman-Habsburg Wars. Most of the buildings in the castle and the town that had been built in the Middle Ages were destroyed during this period, and there were only uninhabitable, smothered ruins to welcome the liberators.
In 1761 the bishopric regained control over the castle, where they started the preliminary processes of the reconstruction of the new religious center: the middle of the Várhegy (Castle Hill), the remains of Saint Stephen and Saint Adalbert churches were carried away to provide room for the new cathedral.
What keeps me going back to the same river, is, that it's never the same, or, to quote an ancient Greek philosopher,"You never step in the same river twice" Heraclitus.
From the same balcony where yesterdays post comes from, but know looking further to the left and south, is Mount Baker. A local resident tells us how rare this sighting can be. And, that it happens around 11 times a year. Given a 6' person can see about 5KM into the distance, one can better understand how unique this is. Mt. Baker is aprox. 200km from where I am standing, but I am high on a hill. It is also necessary that the air be as clear as possible.
The setting sun made all the difference that night, shining its brilliance on the mountain. However, when those amazing warm rays were finished shining, Mt Baker melted into the background., and disappeared from view. With a bluish coloured fog over the inlet, an almost lime coloured hue in the sky, this moment was special, and delivered a gem of a shot.

The upper floor and ceiling at the grand entrance hall of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
This part of the museum is the original, and was built 1837-1843, designed by George Basevi. The museum has seen many later additions, the latest in 2004 and when I visited the museum I entered through its more modern facilities, which did not make quite the same impact and I had to traverse more or less the whole museum to get to this vantage-point. But then again, it is a museum well worth traversing, because there is quite a lot to see on the way.

Same session from the Moonscape Overlook in Southern Utah. On this composition, I wanted an over the shoulder type feel to the image putting the viewer in the eyes of the subject. The vast desert terrain while the sun crested over the horizon.
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves
of leaves and flowers.
It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death,
in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood
this moment.
Same direction bt Hoobastank, is just a reference to the fact I always walk this beach in the same direction. There's always different options though depending on the state of the tide, and on this evening, there wasn't a breath of wind, so the rock pools were like mirrors.
Same view, different day, different sky. A beautiful sky but likely warning us of the inclement weather heading our way late tomorrow and into Thursday.
I will thank you in advance for any comment or fave on my image as I may not always have the time to get back.

Same morning, I just zoomed out a bit and caught the sun peeking from beneath the pier.
I had to take five bracketed shots to get this HDR in Lightroom and again finished it in PhotoShop.
I used the eyedropper in LR to try to set the white balance to closely represent what I saw for those few seconds as the light was changing rapidly.

A chunky, large-headed bird of open areas, usually found perched on wires or flying around in search of insects. Soft gunmetal gray with white underparts. Often found pressed together in pairs or tight groups when at rest. Sometimes flies in the same areas as swallows and swifts, but has a much thicker build, with triangular, somewhat starling-like wings. The only woodswallow throughout most of its range. Song is a somewhat myna-like series of sweet warbling and harsh chattering. Also gives nasal scolding “nyeh”, comparable to a jay or treepie. (eBird)
-----------------
Frequently seen but not photographed. I finally found a pair on the power lines, then this one came a little closer and I could get a better look. The only angle I had was into the sun so he was pretty shadowed in the final image. A little editing brought out his subtle colours.
Despite the name and appearance, this bird is not a swallow. It is actually in the same family as the Australian Magpie!
