… ’twas a glorious day to be on the lake today and wildlife was everywhere. The shot above is of an Egret that was perched on a branch in the water … reflections from the water make an incredible display on the lower side of his wings and water trails from his foot as he ascends into flight. Below a Turkey Vulture patiently waits for meal to appear for him … perhaps a fish left behind by another predator? Discovered an island being used as a rookery for Great Blue Herons; they and their nests were everywhere.
The lake is down about two feet since the last time I was down there and over the course of the summer another twenty or so more feet of water will be released … mostly for agriculture, but some for municipal purposes.
Been a long day and only ended up with three hours rest before I got up and we left for the lake.
Way behind on answering emails and hope to catch up by the weekend.
Have a beautiful day
Ted
And though age and infirmity overtake me,
and I come not within sight of the castle of my
dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life, and
for time’s olden memories that are good and sweet;
and may the evening’s twilight find me gentle still.
