My New Little B-O-T-E 10-03-2021
So, I bought a little 10′ Pelican boat to see if I could get closer to some of my loyal subjects. Yesterday was my first day out, and, although it was a very foggy day (Is this London??), I managed to get some decent shots. Because of the fog, most of the photos are not as crisp as I would have liked, but I’m posting them anyway.
Among the things I was able to get decent shots of were several Great Egrets, a few Great Blue Herons, and an immature Bald Eagle. I also saw several Kingfishers, an Otter, and many other varieties of birds, but just couldn’t capture good enough photos. One of the Great Egrets was doing its mating dance for several minutes. It was so fun (and funny) to watch!!
I am tremendously excited, however, and hope to continue getting better and better shots. I hope y’all enjoy these. Please feel free to comment, and share with your friends and family.
P.S. “B-O-T-E” is from an episode of Gilligan’s Island. I loved that show!!
Thank you all!!
Great blue heron in the fog is my favorite.
Thank you, Kim Leann!! I pretty fond of that one myself!!
The whole day was incredible. For most of the morning, I was the only one on the lake. It was so serene!!
