There are many more birds that eat fish as their primary diet. I’ve chosen these images of birds with the freshly captured fish.

Bird Weekly Challenge – Birds that begin with the Letter E

March 8, 2021March 7, 2021Posted in Birds, Nature, PhotographyTagged birdweekly, Egrets, Great Egret, Snowy Egret25 Comments

I can think of many birds that begin with the letter E but for this challenge I will feature two kinds of Egrets – Great Egrets and Snowy Egrets.

We visited St. Augustine Alligator Farm in February one year in hopes of seeing the Great Egrets in their beautiful breeding plumage. They put on quite a show.

Snowy Egrets are smaller than the Great Egrets and have yellow feet.

Thank you Lisa for this week’s Bird Weekly Challenge Birds that begin with the Letter E

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge – Soft

March 4, 2021Posted in Flowers, Nature, PhotographyTagged fog, Lens-Artists, milkweed, pink blooms, pink blossoms, Pink Camellia, Soft13 Comments

This week Ann-Christine has asked us to show our interpretation of soft. The first thing that came to my mind was the soft pink petals on one of my Camellia bushes shown in the image above.

A dandelion, milkweed, and a foggy morning are other soft things I found.

White Feathers

There are so many beautiful birds with white feathers I had a hard time choosing just a few. In recent bird challenges I have already featured White Pelicans (my favorite), Bald Eagles, and Whooping Cranes so I browsed through my archives to find a few images I haven’t yet used in the challenge. I captured this ring-billed gull on the beach this past weekend.

I love it when two photo challenge have a similar theme. Lisa’s Bird Weekly Challenge this week is Birds with White Feathers and Terri’s Sunday Stills Challenge is A White-Washed World.
