On the River

Love the way the grasses fan around the egret. Glad you got time off your studies to go out n about!!

yes, the spray of grasses around his head is spectacular, like a crown.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond so glad you like it and I too am glad to be released momentarily form the studies! Thanks Jackie
@francoise I am glad you like it Francoise. I think that is why I chose this one because there were a few of them!

Such a great capture. Nice you could take a break from your studies!

Great shot! One of my favorite birds. Glad to see you are taking a break.

A well deserved respite and a gorgeous photo result! I too am glad you took your camera! And I am also in agreement that the background greenery resembles a crown!

NIce capture!

It's all been said above, lovely shot Katie.

Lovely capture, Katy. Glad you found some time to relax.

Such a beautiful bird and shot.

@louannwarren I really appreciate that support Lou Ann. thanks so much!
@eudora I am glad you like it Diane. There were several on the river but this was one of the best shots. Thank you.
@wyomingsis So nice of you to say. I am glad it turned out this well as taking photos from a boat in mortion is not all that easy. I am glad you like it♥
@photographycrazy thank you so much for the time and the comment
@ludwigsdiana how very nice of you Diana thanks bunches!
@gijsje thanks bep. I really appreciate that. It was nice to have a little of that time to devote to all my 365 friends
@kwind how nice of you to say Kim. Thank you so very much

This handsome bird was just waiting for you to come along with your camera.

Lovely!

@tunia LOL! I seriously doubt it but I am glad I saw him!
@linnypinny how nice to hear from you! thanks for taking the time Lin

Beautiful shot of a beautiful bird.

@sdutoit So nice of you to say Sylvia. Thanks for taking the time

A lovely capture of this beautiful egret

You have more than earned this break! Good shot!

glad that you're having a breather from your school work. i expect no less than a GPA of 4.0 :-D i'm kidding, 3.9 would be great. :-)

this is very nice and thankfully the bird stayed long enough to be photographed. i'm never lucky with birds. aces, girlfriend!

Having the time to look for something beautiful, odd, or downright ugly is personal and rewarding! Nice to see this big bird!

@judithdeacon Thanks Judith. I was pleased it turned out so well as the boat was moving at a good speed when I shot it

@summerfield thanks friend. It was a short one. I had finals tests this week for my third module and start my first senior year module on Tuesday! Only three modules to go! That 4.0 is probably not going to happen, either

So glad you like the photo. It was a challenge as the boat was moving quite fast

@maggiemae Thanks MAggiemae. It was nice to have a couple of hours to not think about school but I am back in the thick of it this week

I missed this when you posted it. How special, to get a look at this wonderful bird! Nothing quite like that around here. Ditto what everyone else said about background greenery. Nice one!

Nice capture!
