Usually I see these Reddish Egrets back lit. At first this one was back lit too, but then he flew away.

It took me about 20 minutes to to reach him in his new fishing grounds. Luckily for me, the light was good there.

Reddish Egret - Black Point Drive in the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge

Dandelion seeds.

Taken in Kyotanabe, Kyoto.

Fluffed up or impressive cleavage, other images of this same bird show a fairly round bird. The morning was a little cool and flying birds just do not get that fat.

All our snow has more or less gone now, replaced by wet & mud :( Evie misses it and so do I, so much cleaner! Fluff and snow go well together I think & I love this capture of her, all fur & big brown eyes.

The Typha family has 30 species. They are perennials that grow in wetlands. When they are ripe, the heads disintegrate into a cottony fluff from where the seeds disperse by wind. Cattails are also called bulrushes, reedmace, or just reeds.

There are so many beautiful things in nature, you only have to stop and take a closer look.

European Starling

This little fellow was resting on a walnut tree limb.

The beautiful osprey had just flown in to the snag when this image was captured. It looked like he had just finished a dive and was get rid of some of the excess water on his feathers. Taken with the Nikon 850.

Wishing you an awesome and blessed Sunday !!

Just a bit of fluff left behind by a feathered friend. Makes a nice contrast with the sunlit lawn.
