At least I think that is what the egret is doing, like it does every day. I snapped this from the truck...stopped on the road...making people in back of me mad.

---stopped on the road...making people in back of me mad---

Jimbob, I do suppose that it weren't your supporters, lol.

Very fine post of this egret doing what we are doing every day as well: gaining our food.

Regards, Cornelius.

Oh how lucky to find this guy along with his reflection! Really, some folks just don't get it. They can't understand that you wanted to take home a souvenir of that wonderful happening and that it only took a few seconds to do so. I know! Put a sign in your back window that says STUDENT DRIVER. Next time, no one will find fault.

Beautiful post, Jim. For those few you made mad, you made many others glad!

I like to do that once in a while, stop and make people give me some sort of a sign!!! It didn't seem to bother you though did it? Nice capture of the egret doing its thing.

Some people just do not know how to stop and smell the foofies ...or capture a beautiful scene! They will get over it but we could not do without it!!

I cant tell you how many one finger salutes I have gotten for doing the same thing Jim. No one wants to slow down and look at our beautiful world any more. This is a great capture. I really like the reflections.

Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun
