Don's (not so) Weekly Photo

I do not always have a post to write, but I want to share my photos - so I started this weekly photo page.

​Just one photo each week. The photo may be new or it may come from my pile of favorites. A different photo will be posted every week. Drop by and check it out.

Weekly has become a bit more erratic, hence the new – more accurate  name.

Egret in the November Sun

This beautiful Snowy Egret was a bit of a loner. Linda and I were touring a known birding area in Galveston when we came across a large group of wading birds that included Snowy Egrets, Great Egrets, adolescent White Ibises, and a Roseate Spoonbill. But this guy was was not with the group. He was all by himself over to one side along the edge of a water ditch.

I happened to see him just when the late afternoon November sun peeked out from behind the clouds, backlighting the tufty feathers on his head. And he was posing perfectly. Indeed, with his pose he seemed to be telling me to take the photo while I had the opportunity, as he would pass this way but once. 
​

With birds you don't pose them, you just grab for opportunities, taking pictures when you can, hoping you get a special shot. On this day I got lucky.
