Things have slowed down at the rookery. There were a few ducklings as you see in the profile picture, but you also wee the water lilies that have completely taken over the water there. The decibel level is down with the few remaining babies calling out to be fed. The grassy slope we stand on to shoot has been overtaken by sandy looking spots, which I attempted to avoid in my flip flops but I still managed to come away with a fresh crop of fire ant bites. The great egrets were the only action to focus on while we were there, and I can’t say for sure if they are an adult and baby or two siblings practicing their poses. It’s a privilege to witness this cycle of life yet again. Nature truly amazes.



Mother Nature provides beauty out there for all to enjoy! Photographers heaven!!

Yes, and if I wasn’t such a wimp, wilting in the heat, I’d be taking pictures of burrowing owls or skimmer chicks on the beach. Guess I’d better get back to sunrises and sunsets.

Yes they are. They frustrate me because you can’t see their eyes, but still it was nice to see some babies at least.
