Thanks for the kind words Sabrina and Christian. Tis the season for wading birds to mate. No need to be jealous Sabrina you have some wonderful work in your gallery. Hopefully we can shoot again later this spring. I'd vote for McKee Gardens. Bring your skeeter pellant. #7299451

Thank you Kerry, Shelly, Arlene, Ann, Susan, and Michelle. I appreciate your comments. It really is an exciting time for me. I plan and plot my travels all year for the days when these beautiful birds enter their mating period. I cease to lose my enthusiasm. The trip requires that we cover more than 2500 miles by auto. All within Florida. Then the process of editing 1000 images begins.

BRAVO!

Thank you Abdulrahman and Ed. Being that we share a common interest in wading birds in the wild Ed your comments take on special meaning to me. I love the light that you work with in eastern Louisiana. Your photograph entitled "Prehistoric" is exceptional. You've taken me to a place few have seen. #7309813

This is just stunning. The remind me of ballet dancers. Fantastic timing, lighting, clairty you name it you did it here! Absolutely amazing. This should have been the grand prize winner in my book. #8351082

Sharrie Thomas March 11, 2010

Your photos are outstanding! I love the way you made a series with the blue herons, telling a story with your pictures. It's the first gallery, I've seen, where someone puts so much effort in describing the pictures. It's much appreciated. The Great white egrets are GORGEOUS! All your shots are great. You definitely have a way with a camera. #8447653
