Finally, after Christmas activity and about two solid weeks of rain, rain, and more rain, I have decided to rejoin the living and breathing! It has been as hard to get going as it was decorating the house for Christmas. I have a huge laundry list of things to get done in AND out of the house, and now with the sun shining, I might get to some of them!
This morning, I got a few shots of our resident egret who hangs out at the pond in the back of our subdivision. We can't seem to get ducks to stay, but this guy seems to like it there. Egrets are a sort of crane and are everywhere down here!
So, now that I finally have a post up for the New Year, I'm off to clean out the refrigerator!

Egrets are so beautiful. How lucky to have one visit your pond in the subdivision.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Table Top Tuesday.
What beautiful photos of the egret-the little turtle surprise in the corner is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you but if it is not appropriate please let me know. I just began blogging in fall and have yet to decorate my sight. I have things to put on it but I absolutely love your "marbled" background but all I saw in the choices were solid colors-I am all about natural looks so that why I ask? Not a problem if this is not an
appropriate question-you can just ignore. Thanks.
From your header I can see the good times are already rolling! Lovely egret. We have Great Blue Herons - one was standing in the median of Hwy.1 today! Just watching the traffic, I guess. Our red buds started blooming before Christmas and now the leaves are peeking through the buds. My dwarf daffodils are up about 7 inches. This will be another crazy spring.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love the Great Blues as well! I have even seen them at our pond. Will be looking for him!
DeleteOur Japanese magnolias are all in blossom here in town; I'm sure the azaleas are not far behind!
