…you will find beauty everywhere

(Van Gogh)

Decided it was time to get outside for a solitary walk with Nature. Sometimes that’s not easy to do in my neck of the woods. But on this occasion, it was just me and my Egret.

(November 5. 2020)

The elegant Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetland. Slightly smaller and more svelte than a Great Blue Heron, these are still large birds with impressive wingspans.

They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading through wetlands to capture fish with a deadly jab of their yellow bill. Great Egrets were hunted nearly to extinction for their plumes in the late nineteenth century, sparking conservation movements and some of the first laws to protect birds.

Great Egrets fly slowly but powerfully: with just two wingbeats per second their cruising speed is around 25 miles an hour.

Though it mainly hunts while wading, the Great Egret occasionally swims to capture prey or hovers (somewhat laboriously) over the water and dips for fish.

The oldest known Great Egret was 22 years, 10 months old and was banded in Ohio.

Was a beautiful day.. I love this time of year..

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings. -

William Blake

Realize how lucky we are to have the sun, the sky, the birds, the sunset and most of all our freedom! To me birds flying represents freedom, wishing that freedom is a given for every living thing!

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️

Have a wonderful New week ahead everyone. Please take care of yourselves.

I was not sure about the correct name of this Flower (Dahlia), thanks for helping me out dear friends. So nice of you guys.

Thank you so much for dropping by my photostream and leaving all the kind comments. They are very much appreciated.

У многих людей сложился стереотип, что гриб мухомор – это ядовитый лесной житель с красной шапочкой в белый горошек. Лишь немногие знают, что это собирательное название рода пластинчатых грибов с широким видовым разнообразием. Большинство из них ядовиты, порой даже смертельно, но есть среди них и съедобные, которые принято считать деликатесами.

Words and Music by Jill Jackson and Sy Miller

Let there be peace on Earth,

and let it begin with me.

Let there be peace on Earth,

the peace that was meant to be.

With God as our Father,

brothers all are we,

Let me walk with my brother,

in perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me,

let this be the moment now,

With every step I take,

let this be my solemn vow,

To take each moment and live each moment

in peace, eternally.

Let there be peace on Earth,

and let it begin with me.
