This portrait was taken at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm. It is a private zoo that was referred to me by Scott Bourne. I like his blog PhotoFocus. The tip was much appreciated and I came away with a whole lot of keepers. This Snowy Egret was preening himself. You can see some of the down stuck on his bill.

This is one of many shots taken at the St. Agustine Alligator farm. It really is amazing the number of birds and how close they are. Thanks to Scott Bourne for the tip.
Another perspective from my day out at the Cherry Blossom Festival. I liked this old tree. Seems like it has been through a lot.
I went to the Tidal Basin in DC Saturday with Sue and Raj. It was a great day beautiful weather with a bit of wind and great cherry blossoms. This is one of the many pictures I'm sorting through. If you haven't been to DC during the peak it is worth getting there early and braving the crowds.
You may have guessed that I like bird photography. Well today I was out on my way to take some photos of the Cherry Blossoms and still managed to get a bird picture. We were walking from the car toward the tidal basin and saw this Osprey fly into the tree right in front of us holding a fish. I didn't have the bird lens to catch the flight but the light was good and he hung around.
