Big White Birds
previous / nextIn my last post I was complaining about the winter. Well we finally have snow, not a dusting, not a slushy sloppy inch or two but real significant snow!
The phone rang twice this morning in the pre-dawn hours to let me know that the boys would not have school because of snow. When I looked out the window everything was white. Of course the boys are very happy to sleep in today. I won't lie, I was pretty happy to be able to roll over and get a couple of extra hours myself.
There is about 4 inches already and I am anxious to get out my winter gear, and venture out to take some photos. My camera is weather sealed but I am going to fashion a jacket for it just the same before I go out.
This shot has nothing to do with the snow other than the birds being white. I shot these Great Egrets AKA white Herons at a water front park in Perth Amboy about 1 1/2 years ago.

Fantastic shot, but I want to see the snow!!! I'll probably be heading to NYC btw, nearly decided, but the ones Im deciding between are in NYC. So i'll see you in September then.
I really like this composition and the brilliance of the Egrets.
Looking forward to your beautiful snow pictures. Have fun scoping out the treasures.
Fantastic!
ah, so lucky...i think there isn't going to be any snow for us this year in the u.k.
lovely shot, liking the dark waters....bringon the snow...
Enjoy the snow with the kids and ... your camera!
Majestic birds...
Beautiful capture
I like how the birds stand out against the dark background.
Glad you finally got your snow! We were supposed to get an ice storm...but it missed us...Hurray!
I wouldn't mind having one good snow....and then off to Spring :)
You have captured these birds beautifully! Their white color really does stand out...and they look HUGE. I would love to see one of these!! (or two or three)
I get tired of snow really quick. Egrets look fantastic.
