A large white heron, the Great Egret is found across much of the world, from southern Canada southward to Argentina, and in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. It's the largest egret in the Old World, and thus has garnered the name Great White Egret. But in the Americas, the white form of the Great Blue Heron is larger and warrants that name. In the United States, the Great Egret used to be called the American Egret but that was hardly appropriate, since the species range extends beyond America and indeed farther than other herons.
The Great Egret (Ardea alba), also known as the Great White Egret or Common Egret or (now not in use) Great White Heron,[1] and called kōtuku in New Zealand, is a large egret. Distributed across most of the tropical and warmer temperate regions of the world, in southern Europe and Asia it is rather localized. It is sometimes confused with the Great White Heron in Florida, which is a white morph of the closely related Great Blue Heron (A. herodias). Note however that the name Great White Heron has occasionally been used to refer to the Great Egret.
The Great Egret is a large bird with all-white plumage that can reach one meter in height and weigh up to 950 g. It is thus only slightly smaller than the Great Blue or Grey Heron (A. cinerea). Apart from size, the Great Egret can be distinguished from other white egrets by its yellow bill and black legs and feet, though the bill may become darker and the lower legs lighter in the breeding season. In breeding plumage, delicate ornamental feathers are borne on the back. Males and females are identical in appearance; juveniles look like non-breeding adults.
It has a slow flight, with its neck retracted. This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes, ibises and spoonbills, which extend their necks in flight.
The Great Egret is not normally a vocal bird; at breeding colonies, however, it often gives a loud croaking cuk cuk cuk
Today we removed two old wooden box cars from the waterfront cement plant that is destined to become a world class destination hotel and convention center. The track the F unit is on only sees service when a car needs to be pulled out of service, and the track the train is on has seen two moves in 30 years. As such vegetation has grown up everywhere! There are tracks under there somewhere!
Cut Off, Louisiana is a small community located in coastal Lafourche Parish. The population is about 6,000 with a local Cajun culture that is unique in Louisiana itself. The climate is semitropical and influenced by the Gulf of Mexico. The community lines Bayou Lafourche and the Intracoastal Canal, most of the land is low at around sea level surrounded by a levee. Coastal erosion is a big issue and threatens the very existance of this one of a kind place.

Sadly today my girlfriend went off with her family for a long holiday to visit L.A and Hawaii. This is some of her money she had already exchanged before heading off.
Also this photo isn't the best quality since I wasn't able to edit it in PS. Anything with currency doesn't seem to open properly....
Madrid, Spain. An unfair face-off between the "hero" and the bull. Unfair because the hero's 6+ teammates already took stabs at the bull prior to his grand appearance.

John hasn't been around in a while, but only because he's having work done. This is still no where near done. His whole front, back, arms, hands and partial legs should be covered in this crap.
He does have these nifty sweats to wear now. At home by himself, this is usually how he's dressed....

03. What is it's story? (no more than 100 words please)
Since the Inspector has a cloud for a face i figure he can manipulate his features and expressions to suit his current mood. Here he is reclining pensively with a good book and a rather impressive vapour-moustache.
About 20years ago this former Devon Iveco minibus was on transfer to the North West for conversion into a mobile engineering workshop.
Whilst on the second leg of it's journey from Hyde Road the bus fell victim to an engine fire.
The bus is pictured here at the compound at Ackhurst Industrial Estate, Chorley.

Many thanks to "Harley" the Rottweiler's owner for letting us use him on the display. He looks hard as nails but was a beautiful dog and very well mannered.
Female firefly on a blade of grass in my backyard. She may or may not have been impressed with the off-camera strobe going off above her, but several males landed nearby while I was shooting. They were probably thinking, "Holy cow!"
