Not something I shoot very often.
The sun coming into the water and Spanish Moss caught my eye.

Over The Swamp Water
It’s hard to get a decent photograph of both a large bird and the surrounding area in a swamp. This Great Blue picked the only spot that had an open view behind.
The Heron gave a Hollywood pose and left some open water.
Even captured Spanish Moss on a Cypress.
Wonder how many years I will wait for another shot here.
A Family Discussion
Which of course is all about food.
The topic looks to have been too much for Mom.
She was planning an exit.
Yellow-crowned, Plantation Garden
Fun shots of a chance encounter. These were taken while passing through a plantation garden on our way back from a marsh.
These small Herons are fast and I caught just one shot since he came right at me. The white bridge in the background crosses a small pond stream.
And where did he go? Not out to the marshes where expected.
An old statue in the reeds, perfect high spot for a Yellow-crowned Night Heron.
Owl Watching Over A Juvenile
Young Owls are flying around the swamps now, even feeding themselves.
However, most of the time somewhere out in the trees one of the adults is still there watching over him.
This was a quick glance, I’m not a threat and he knows it.
High And Dry, Yellow Slider
Another small, and dry, bump in a swamp.
They are popular places.
The Only Angle
My other options were to stand in the water…
… not happening.
Sand And Sun
Quick, before all the sun was gone.
