We were on the dock, getting ready to board a party boat last week to go fishing in the Gulf when this white heron just sort of "dropped in" for a bird's eye view...
Please pray for Bella.
Bella Update: 07/23/08. Wednesday. Another good Bella morning, she is in good spirits, even with they mysterious disappearance of our normally numerous and active neighborhood squirrel population. Maybe "Sheriff Bella" has cleaned out Dodge and sent all those tree-climbing hoodlums packing. Heh.
Bella and I appreciate each of you for caring and praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.
What we have right now are daily blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle that is slowly unfolding.

great image - I love the color of the bird echoed in the background, and the way the pattern in the background echoes the shape of the bird head and the color of his beak. It is great to be able to capture a fleeting moment so well.

Very nice, as with all herons, the eye is so piercing... I got an egret just like this on a long-leaf pine just across the bay from you, in Fort de Soto, in Nov. 06. The quality of the photo is not very good as I took it with a video-camera, if you want to have a look here is the link.

The shot is so crisp and clean. The four yellow lights in the background set the shot perfectly. Beautiful all over.
