Extreme Close-ups
I was able to get super close to a great egret earnestly fishing on the side of a pond. This is the most laid-back one I've come across. Very patient and gracious.

One word today Gail....INCREDIBLE!!!
He actually looks to be posing for you! Beautiful!
Wow yes these are some great close-ups indeed. I love the detail in the eyes!
How wonderful!
Really well done. I am curious about what you shoot with: lens, camera etc.
Awesome close-ups and a perfect quote!
You have in fact magnified "our" happiness.
absolutely amazing! they are SO skittish! you are the egret whisperer! :)
WOW!!! What long toes he has!
What big toes you have, my dear! What great pics!
BTW, you have been blessed.
Seriously...your photos should be in a book! These are wonderful!

NEAT!! Almost a macro on an egret :-}}}
These are amazing! I love seeing his feet--so delicate and intricate!
You did well to get so close to the egret, and beautiful shots they are too.
Fantastic shots!
Wow Gail, those are extremely insane closeups! And I mean insane in a good way :) How do you do it? Your photography is always and I mean always stunning!
Love and hugs to you!
I am impressed that you were able to get that close to him. There are a few of them out this way that like to hang out just by the roadside. Often I've thought of stopping to snap a few shots...but naturally I never have my camera when I pass by. Hope you are bracing for our 2nd Winter Storm within a week. Big hugs...stay warm!
Great portraits of the Great Egret!
Very nice, Gail!
