Description

I was going to up load a landscape image today. Had it all ready because the internet was messed up last night for about 1 hour but I got some images ready for the week to up load. I wake up this morning and ate; took a shower and took off to Lake Martin on the back way to the coffee shop in Breaux Bridge. I took some shots of the birds. Had the pink birds out there now; I think they spoon bill birds. Anyway I saw this gator and i took some shots of him. I took off down the road for I knew I had to turn around to come back anyway.[dead end road] On the way back I saw this egret and i know I had to get a shot of them together in one photo. I took many shots and I going to up load some on http://www.morguefile.com/ so if you wish to use any to put faries in the photo washing the gator you can; you know like a car wash. Just a idea if some one is in a rut on ideas to do a image. I not good on faries. As I took the photos and ready to go [yes I was outside the truck resting the camera on my truck] Two blue egret or birds took off close to me lol I jump and say to myself " if I knew they was there I would try to get the shot of the gator and those blue egrets in the shot too" I mean You have to train your eyes tol see these animals. I had on the 250mm with a 2x on it so 70x this would be about 140 to 170mm. Thanks for looking and comments I was going to crop it but i think with the land aroung it you see what going on. No the gator did not try to get the egret. Guess he knew he was too far away so he sit there in the sun
