The first time I saw an Egret I was struck by its’ beauty. I am so happy to see they remain a common summer visitor in Minnesota.
Photographed 8/17/2014, just north of Rockford, Minnesota – using a 55-300 zoom while standing on a county highway.

Oh, just gorgeous! Especially that second picture.
It was moving so fast, I thought I lost the picture!
I’m always so happy when a picture comes out under those circumstances. 🙂
