An egret heads out over the water while an alligator glides over to say hello.

The warm setting sunlight nicely lit both their eyes, and the entire marsh area this evening.

  Thank you Maggie, we had a ton of wood storks out there too last night and I got similar flight shots of some of them but just haven’t been able to go through them properly yet. 🙂

  Thanks very much Sylvia I appreciate it. Still waiting for those pink guys to show up, they are late and annoying me tremendously.

Yeah the light and background for that white egret are so lovely! I like the water patterns around the gator…looks so tangibly…..fluid!
