Location
This is such an amazing story, I had just recently received my new Canon Rebel Camera from my children and was very new at using it and carried it with me at all times. I was in the Oceanside Harbor, Oceanside California, going into a restaurant. I had seen these magnificent birds in the trees surrounding the restaurant and was enthralled with their beauty. As I looked up one flew just above me, and I simply raised my new camera, aimed, and clicked and this is the photo I got! A beautiful White Egret carrying a large branch from one tree in the parking lot across to another tree where it was building a nest for the coming mating season. It was simply a blessing that I got this awesome and most beautiful shot! But then most of my best shots have been taken like this. I am that kind of photographer!!!! Point and shoot. Blessed!!! Thank you for asking, billie day aka billiefromthebeach photo/artTime

I love these birds, their majesty as they fly and their beauty in the air is unsurpassed as far as I am concerned. They remind me of a ballerina dancing in the air! Majestic and fragile at the same time. Yet as babies they are the ugliest little things, that they are simply adorable. I now have photos of them in trees as newborns. So funny to see. Amazing birds. That day was the beginning of a love match for me and the White Egret!Editing
just a tiny bit as far as the lighting of making the sky a bit more blue as it was a bit faded out and bringing the bird just a tiny bit more whiter. I only have Picasa editing and am not very good with that so I do not do much processing. What you see is what you get with me.In my camera bag
my camera, extra batteries and extra camera cards.Feedback
I simply got lucky
