Portrait of the Snowy Egret
Portrait of the Snowy Egret, we went out for a bike ride on this particular morning. The sun was still low in the sky and as we crossed a small bridge we came to a sudden stop. As we noticed this beautiful Egret perched on a branch just above the creek.
I slowly got my camera out, the sun was behind us creating a beautiful spot light, it turned to look towards me and I took the photo as you see. Sometimes when I am least expecting it, an average morning bike ride turns into a site that can take my breathaway.
Have a Wonderful Weekend.

Excellent capture. Trues, some of our best photos come from unexpected moments.
Yes, I love it when that happens 🙂
Hay everyone please support me. Please comment and like
What a gorgeous and regal-looking Snowy Egret you have captured here Sandra.
It was a surprise when we came across them with a spot light on them from the sun.
You could see every feather from the little dab of sunlight – very nice.
The photo is very good
Thank you 😊
Welcome
Nice
Thank you very much.
Perfect light on such a white bird – with the darker background, has my favorite professional photographer Joel Sartore Photo Ark feel to it.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that. It was a surprise to find them in that spot. We were not looking for them but the light caught my eye and we stopped.
I just looked him up. I like his work. I like that darker look also. I tend to lean that way with photos when I can. I like it when I can do it with the camera, with a faster shutter speed, easier then trying to do it in photoshop.
My walks are often interrupted when I am tempted by the views. I limit myself to two quick photos and then get back to the walk and time together. I would love to have been riding my bike today but with the recent snowfall and minus 9 weather, I want to avoid the extra wind chill. I do appreciate your blog so much, thank you for the work you do to make it so special. – David
I appreciate that David, thank you. I know what you mean about walking and interruptions, I try to stay focused on the walk but I can never leave home without the camera. So it is just a given. There is always so much to see. Merry Christmas David 😊

🙂 thank you, those are the most exciting times.
That’s indeed beautiful. Almost like done with studio lights.
Yes, I like it when the sun is just right in the morning and I come across an area like this. Morning is the best time for photography. 🙂
Or the golden hour … but overused.
It looks dark otherwise. But as it happens we can see the egret better on a dark background.
Yes, its white feathers really shine from the spot light of sunshine. They are sucha beautiful bird. 🙂
