A more conventional shot of the egret  in the previous post, and a wider view of the pond. We're into May Gray weather this close to the coast.

Both photos were taken from the same spot, one with a zoomable camera and the other with my phone. The same bird is barely visible in the wide image, toward the left of the frame.

‘We don’t hear the frogs, we don’t see the birds’:
government repeatedly delayed water to NSW wetlands, documents reveal

"The New South Wales government has routinely delayed environmental flows to critical wetlands in the state’s north-west in favour of farming, despite admitting it could harm the breeding cycles of frogs and endangered birds and damage local ecosystems."

“I was furious when I saw the impact that delaying the delivery of environmental water is having on the wetlands and the thousands of waterbirds and other animals that rely upon healthy wetland ecosystems to survive." >>

The Bayou

This is a photo of a quiet waterway in the bayous of Sabine National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana, USA. A tranquil channel of water reflects the soft blue sky and scattered white clouds above. Tall, dense stands of golden‑brown reeds and grasses rise on both sides of the channel, reaching upward like weathered sentinels. In the far distance, the scene tapers toward a line of trees that marks the edge of the marsh.

My photo gallery features over 1700 carefully selected images. While most are chosen for their visual appeal, a few stand out as novelty shots. Feel free to explore my gallery at:
