The Invasion Of The Egrets.

[f4fwildcat]

It has been so wet here in the Wichita area. That we have had some visitors in some
unusual areas. There are Egrets everywhere there is a puddle. And there are a lot of
puddles.

The images I am sharing this day are from a group actually near a lake. They are so skittish that they are hard to walk up close enough for a good image. However, I found that you can drive up closer to them, they don't seem to mind that as much as approaching on foot.
Gee, I hope no one minded the tire tracks...









OK, I know the last one is obviously not an Egret, but he stayed put. He let me walk up
real close, so I thought I would immortalize him.

So there you have it. This week is Wichita River Festival week. The weather should be nice. I was laid-off last week, that's the bad news, the good news is, I'll have more
time to prefect my photography. A silver lining!

I guess the last photo of the turtle is a portrait of one of the resistance forces to the invasion of the egrets, if i were to create a story of the 4 pix. I like that shot. Have you tried frogs as subject? they are also good models that will stay put.

I would like to try photographing a frog. They are even tougher for me to capture than turtles. I guess I need to watch the edge of the banks and walk a little slower. Have a good week and thanks.

Well then, I'll have plenty of time to show him around. Thanks for your concern about the job situation. I see it as an opportunity to head a different direction. We'll see what happens.
I could always apply at Home Depot I mean Lowe's

Thanks again, I'll keep you up to date.

Thanks for the props on the Egrets and the turtle Vin. I'm going to take a couple of
photography classes and try and scare up some portrait work.
