Circle the Wagons, that is my thought when I was watching these 4 egrets walking in a circle in the river. Or perhaps they were playing Duck Duck Goose, if anyone remembers that game from our childhood. I wonder if kids play games like that outside anymore. Ring around the Rosie, Hop Scotch, Annie Annie Over. All great games when I was a youngster.

These four Egrets are just fishing and the second photo is 4 Geese flying overhead with gorgeous blue sky in the background.

Pirouette Plié Tour en l’air

By Sandra | December 28, 2020

Pirouette, Plié, Tour en l’air, What do these words mean? Well, to me these beautiful Egrets look like they are doing a ballet. These words are terms for specific moves for ballet, they mean; a turn in the air; a rotation or spin; bending – of the knee or knees.

I hear; Ta Da,,,, Bravo,,,,

Dance with me 🙂

Adagio; is a succession of slow, soft, lyrical, and continuous movements. Adagio creates the illusion that the positions flow from one into another.

Or they are just scraping for territorial rights. But our imaginations can see something else, something so beautiful. I have never been to a ballet, until today.

I Am Going to Tip Toe Away

By Sandra | November 13, 2020

I Am Going to Tip Toe Away, yes there are still a few pelicans hanging out down at the old river. It has been pretty warm here so I think they are taking advantage of it.

I was down there the other day watching this group of pelicans and 3 Blue Herons in the background. (video below of Egret eating fish)

And then a couple of Egrets showed up and two Herons left, getting to crowded for them. 🙂

And then this Heron on the left, looks like he is going to try and walk slowly away with no one noticing him, except the one Egret who is looking right at him.

Alright, time to run, as much as a Heron can run 🙂

Here is a short video of an Egret eating a fish. You will see the fish go all the way down that long neck. They must have a good digestive system, because they eat one after another.
