The elegant Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetlands. 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. The Great Egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society, one of the oldest environmental organizations in North America. Audubon was founded to protect birds from being killed for their feathers.
Not all young that hatch survive the nestling period. Aggression among nestlings is common and large chicks frequently kill their smaller siblings. This behavior, known as siblicide, is not uncommon among birds such as hawks, owls, and herons, and is often a result of poor breeding conditions in a given year.
Great Egrets fly slowly but powerfully: with just two wing-beats per second their cruising speed is around 25 miles an hour.
The oldest known Great Egret was 22 years, 10 months old and was banded in Ohio.

For this week's Macro Monday theme "Hot or Cold". Making metal catch on fire.
First of some fun playing with various shutter speeds.
It can be a bit intimidating asking a stranger on the street for permission to take a portrait, but this is exactly what I did on this occasion after a day in Newtown a few years ago. She was with her friend taking selfies next to a wall full of colourful but messy graffiti. After the usual minute of so of battling with my alter ego doing it’s best to convince me to walk away, I approached her to ask if she would like her picture taken. She kindly obliged and after after a few clicks we both really settled down and got the confidence to figure out some good shots that she and her friend would like with the light that we had left.
In this portrait, I elected a panoramic crop with a focus on the catchlight in her eye as I felt that the background was too distracting. The black and white conversion with a little grain applied seems to fit my mood lately so here is the result.
Have a great Sunday!

After battling the flu and a very snow-less winter it was nice to get out and enjoy a sunset at my favorite spot.
Suite de mes aventures fraternelles dans mon usine préférée.
Je vous soumet encore une fois deux cadrages, un 3/2 et un 4/3. J'aime les deux avec une préférences pour le 4/3, une fois n'est pas coutume...
J'aime dans le 3/2 cette sensation de hauteur, de grandeur, mais j'aime moins le premier plan trop vide, s'il y avait eu des rebonds ça aurait été top.
Le 4/3 est beaucoup plus intimiste, je trouve que l'on a vraiment l'impression d'être dans ce silot

If you take a journey to Loch Fyne and the historic town of Inverary, take a wee trip along to the famous old harbour and see the Vital Spark, it is a rather famous old puffer that used to travel up and down the length of these waters on the west coast of Scotland.

Inverary - the birthplace of the author Neil Munro, who wrote about sea captain Para Handy and his boat Vital Spark. Some of his stories were made into a TV series and it would be nice to think that this is the boat from the series, but apparently it’s not… that one is on the Clyde. It seems that this one has been re-named, maybe as as a tribute to the author, all a bit of a mystery.
HSS!
This is my favorite boat from Dungeness, the one that I've shot quite a few times and I felt like burning some wool the other night too.
