Mid~Week~Blues

 
This is the Tricolored Heron

This one was nesting and when I got to close, flew off.

This is what she was sitting on!
I was thrilled to capture a picture of her eggs.

I took the pictures at the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine, Florida a few weeks ago.

Go here to check out more Mid~Week~Blues!

Wow those eggs are really neat - pretty blue color.

You have a knack for getting some great shots with that camera of yours. I wish I could just follow you around and be your shadow for a day!

btw are any of those crazy tornado's getting close to your area?
