Reflections

So when you have 1000 photographs of Great Egrets what do you do when you see one of mother nature's most beautiful, graceful, elegant, and majestic birds? You look for a different perspective; a different view; a different setting; different lighting; or a reflection. With so many different possibilities, after a while it becomes hard to choose which is "best". Here are some examples:

First the different settings:

Along a lakeshore at Columbus Lake, Arizona

In a wetland, at Sweetwater Wetlands, Arizona

Beside a creek in Cibola National Wildlife Refuge, Arizona

 Now for the reflections:

Over a pond in Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, California

In a marsh at Frenchman's Hill, Washington

In a warm spring at Agua Caliente, Arizona

Something about each of these photos that makes it impossible for me to choose "the best" or even my favorite.
