\"SnowySnowy Egret Blues – Nikon D200, handheld, f6.3, 1\/1000, ISO 250, Nikkor 80-400mm VR at 260mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Just a simple image of a Snowy Egret today. I photographed this Egret as it stalked prey along the shore of the Gulf of Mexico in Florida.<\/p>\n

This photo was taken around mid day which is much later than I normally like to be out photographing because the light can get harsh.<\/p>\n

The reason why this image does not show that harshness is that the Snowy Egret was in the shade of a tree and that softened the light. The shade also created some wonderful shades of blue in the water.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
