Starts with G: Great Egret

Found this one at Lake Lawson Lake Smith Park

Armed with only a cell phone camera today, I saw this Great Egret (below) at its usual dinner post near Hobby Lobby. (Shot through dirty windshield).

Wild Bird Wednesday #131–Great Egret and Brown Pelican

Wild Bird Wednesday #131

Monday, I had an appointment with my hair stylist. On a previous visit, I noticed a “Duck Crossing” sign nearby, so this time I made sure the camera came along. No ducks today–but I did see this Great Egret.

Passing Mount Trashmore on the way home, I pulled in to see what was happening over there. Much to my surprise, a Brown Pelican was hanging out on the pier.

Around and About

I had to be up early to drive hubby to work, so I snapped a few shots of autumn in December to share with you.

A Painted Bunting (male) visited us for the first time 12/3.
Can you find the Great Blue Heron?

There are fences in the background of some of these, but they blend into the scenery. Honest! How about a bulkhead, then? It fences the water in…?

Good Fences #31

I kept an eye out for Good Fences while on vacation, too. My long-suffering hubby was so patient while I made frequent stops to photograph everything I saw. 

This Great Egret mingled with the visitors in the park. It timidly moved step by step as everyone with a camera gathered around for photo ops.

If you look closely, there’s a fence at the base of the lighthouse.

I liked the colorful houses at Kure Beach, NC. It was such a happy place, though that area bears the brunt of many an Atlantic hurricane.
