Happy Saturday!

I have four images for you today and a different kind of a story.  By the way I call this image my three for one.  🙂

I had a unique experience yesterday.  I was actually asked to “get off this property!”

That has never happened to me, ever.  So I was out running errands yesterday afternoon and I happened to be driving by a backwater area of the Mississippi.  Through the trees I caught a glimpse of some white birds and since I had my camera with me I was more than anxious to grab some images.

It took me about 20 minutes to find a way off the highway and down to the area where the birds were.  As I approached the area I saw there was a business sitting off to my right with a clearly defined roadway and what I perceived to be an equally well-defined property line.  So I stayed well to the left of the business and parked in an area that I thought was okay.

There were a lot of geese around the area and I walked very slow so as not to excite them or traumatize them.  I mean I have photographed thousands of geese before and not one them has ever complained.  What I was obviously interested in was this Great Egret.  I got as close as I thought I could so as not to spook him.  I got off about 20 shots when I heard someone yelling something.

Some lady was yelling at me that I was scaring the geese away and once they were gone they wouldn’t come back (which is not true) and that I was on private property and I needed to get out.  I apologized several times to her and left.  😦

It is never my intention to spoil or interrupt anyone’s day for sure.  So I left the area and will not return to that place again.

That’s it for today.  Thanks for stopping by the blog.  Enjoy your day and be careful.
