Egret Landing

There are some really pissed off homeowners on one street in Carrollton. Apparently hundreds of egrets have taken up residence in the trees that line the street. Read about it or watch the story here. I couldn't pass up the photo op so I took my camera to get some shots yesterday...then again today. I'm completely fascinated by these birds. Did you know that they kick their siblings out of the nests? The city has been cleaning up dead birds and shells on a daily basis. The roads are painted white with bird poo..it smelled horrible!

The pictures are cool though!






This afternoon I went to my favorite "quiet place". It's a pond at a nature preserve in Plano. I love it because at first glance there is not anyting amazing or eyecatching about it. But if you settle in and look around for awhile all kinds of things start to pop out at you. I LOVE turtles, frogs and snakes (as long as they don't sneak up on me). I'm always delighted to see one or the other and today I got lucky!




And now, time to prepare for another Monday.
