Happy Monday!

Sorry I have more Egrets for you today.  This will be the last of them for some time but I had so many images from Green Island that I captured a couple of weeks ago I wanted to finish them up.

At first when we were driving down the canal the Egrets would fly away before I could get close enough to them to attempt to capture their image.  So we would sit for a while and then slowly inch up.

After a short period of time they became more familiar with my car and I guess realized I meant them no harm so they went about their business of searching for food and paid little attention to me.  As a result I was able to get quite close to them.

We saw this little guy swimming down the canal.  I assume this is a musk-rat.  If I’m incorrect please let me know so I can correct it.  I figured he would dive under the water when he got close but he swam right on past us and never missed a stroke.

I had intended to visit the Arboretum yesterday.  I have been through it on my bike about a week ago and wanted to shoot some flowers.  But other projects and a long bike ride took precedent so I’ll save that for later in the week.

I took my hardest route this year on my bike ride.  It has one “killer” hill and I wasn’t sure I was up to it.  I was ready to stop and rest but looked up and realized I only had a few hundred feet to the top so pushed through and made it without stopping.  🙂

That’s it for today.  No more Egrets for a long time.  Thanks for indulging me.

Enjoy your day and be careful.
