    Every egret has its day.
    And your imaginary yak has your missing sock, perhaps? ;o)
    Great regret.

    Beautiful image Doug! We have lots of egrets in our housing area and I've captured a few pictures of them, but nothing this good!

    What an incredible photo, Doug. My husband told me about your photography blog. We used to live in Mt. Pleasant so your images remind me of all the beautiful things in the Low Country.
