Default Images from this weekend

Here are a few images from the other day.

Frank



Not the best images





This was in a salvage yard I don't know if it is real

Nice shots Frank, love the second and third shots. I've never seen that many egrets together at once. The steam is a fantastic shot also, and it certainly looks real.

I agree about the 2nd and 3rd images. I've seen 8 together at once, but that just pales in comparison to your 2 photos. Impressive.

And, like Leona, I do really like your flower photo, too.

Interesting variety of shots. I think the last one would have to be my favorite. I like the colors and the machinery.

If you look close at the egrets there are Snowy Egrets mixed in. The ones in the trees were right behind the ones in the swamp. I couldn't believe there were that many all together.


Thanks for looking

Frank

#2 reminds me of a place near Sunset Beach where the birds roost in a tree.

Two of my favorite subjects Frank. Love the old steam locomotive. I also really like how the sun is shining from behind the yellow flower. Nice work!
