White Egret roosting.....neck scrunched down, standing on one leg.
The Mister and I walk there often. Lovely old homes set back just far enough from the water, to consider it safe during storms. A dirt road winds along the water's edge, allowing enough space for grasses and flower gardens. It is a place we find always peaceful, and seldom do we see more than one or two people at a time. Today, we were alone as we walked, or so we had thought. First noticing a large shadow moving across the grasses, we looked up in time to see a magnificent Osprey land overhead, in a tall pine tree. An incredible sight to see, these birds have wingspans of five to six feet. The white Egret, seen while walking the same path, was settled on a limb of a dead tree. Standing on one leg, I'd say he was taking a winter's roost. He hardly noticed the clicking of my camera, only moving at all to stretch his neck now and then. We're never disappointed when we can interact a little with nature...
