Only one shot from me today, one of our long grown trees is dying and a friend of my brother's who is a tree surgeon has offered to remove it for us before next years hurricane season arrives.
More on the tree removal:
Just so you know, the power lines you see are across the street not near where he was cutting. Eventually, he'll take the whole tree out, but this as far as he got today.
The tree is dying, that's why there was Spanish moss growing on it. During a hurricane, one root had almost uprooted the tree and that caused it to start becoming unstable, and the moss to start growing. it was time to take it down before the next hurricane uprooted it and it fell on a vehicle that is constantly parked in the driveway just to the left of the tree.

Noel, your Egrets are similar to what we have here called a Cattle Egret:

I have photos of them, but would have to got to my archives to find one and that wouldn't fit this week's challenge.

Out with my daughter who was visiting after Christmas, and we were at a local river park where I frequently go to for my bird shots.
Great White Egret and reflection. The reflection was the reason for shot.
