OMG What a surprise for me today. This shot was one of those freaky lucky clicks of the camera. This snowy egret just landed there to show off in front of a female. They are rarely in the ocean. I was getting ready for a sunset shot. Lucky for me. Thank you BP and all my wonderful BP friends and family.
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!! #8510796
