Well, a snowy egret, anyhow. Hope everyone up north is safe and warm during the current storm.

beautiful photo Julie, white can be tough to photograph and this is really nice.

Very nice shot and excellent composition.

Really pretty, Julie - kind of a hazy, mystical feel about the shot. We've had a remarkably cool and cloudy fall (usually the nicest time of the year) here in SE Texas. Next week promises to be more normal with highs in the 60s and 70s - which means the top goes down on my roadster.

Thanks, all. Much appreciated!

Sailor, this bird was standing on a very tall faux rock formation at the entrance/exit area of the zoo... quite a distance from my position, across a "lagoon" (with a lot of pelicans, will share one or two of those once I have processed them). So it was a bit of a "long shot", hand-held with the kit lens, very late in the afternoon. Light was gorgeous, though. Shot a bunch of this one, in various poses, and didn't realize until I got the image files out of the camera that I had been able to capture the filmy plumage, too.

Love egrets.
Yeah, it's even snowy and icy in Texas.
