While all the other marsh birds went to a hidden roost each night this egret had another idea. The shrimp boat.
The only reason I even noticed was due to the setting sun making everything bright and vivid.
I must have a dozen versions from different evenings. Each just as colorful.
Recently I mentioned to someone a picture should try to tell a story. Well, this photo is not great art, but looking at it there is definitely a story.

This was the first opportunity I’ve had to photograph a male Peacock displaying the tail feather fan. The colors and dance routine are quite a show.
Even better when the Peacock turns out to have a thing for a local Guinea Hen. One of the all time strange looking birds.
Since the both birds were so striking this series of photographs has been ‘slightly’ enhanced. They’re just fun. Besides I was with a group of photographers who all have the skill and sense of humor to make their own version of the dance routine. It should be interesting.
So here we have my ‘The Odd Couple’.
This Pelican was completely engrossed in having a bath. Much to the annoyance of his neighbors.

If you miss the shot, come back tomorrow.
He bounced past me one evening. Not before I got the shot.
Pretty much what we usually say is ‘Life Is Good’.

In a twist, the church was built with the money earned from manufacturing the Colt 45. The ‘gun that won the west’.
These waxwings were about as close as I have ever been. The berries were more important than me. That was fine since I had more time for different types of shots.
Photographs taken in South Carolina, end of February (2016). In New England waxwings seem to just make a guest appearance. The coloring is so smooth and even it almost looks fake.
The tree, branches, and berries worked out perfect to provide a nice amount of bokeh for the photographs.
