- Rose this morning feeling well rested, having awoken neither too early nor too late and in spite of having been obliged to get up in the middle of the night following ingestion of three large mugs of coffee earlier in the evening !

- Caught sight of a snowy egret taking flight from a creek in downtown Austin. I was struck by its golden feet:

Walking on Liquid Mirrors

The tidal pools on the beach in Gulfport, Mississippi last year provided a stunning backdrop for observing birds and capturing their reflections. The tranquil pools also created captivating ripples in the water, adding to the scene's visual charm. Among these natural wonders stood the snowy egret (Egretta thula), an elegant white bird whose graceful presence enhanced the beauty of the moment.

"This image features a snowy egret (Egretta thula), elegantly poised in a tranquil, shallow water setting. The egret's striking white feathers are illuminated by soft lighting, creating a radiant and pristine appearance. Its long, slender black beak is complemented by a yellow patch at its base, a detail that adds character to its refined profile. One leg is gracefully lifted mid-step, while the other remains submerged, causing ripples that softly distort the calm reflection of its silhouette on the water's surface. The bird's thin black legs transition to bright yellow feet, making it look as though it’s stepping delicately across the water. The blurred, blue-toned background enhances the serenity and focus on the snowy egret's poised beauty. The photo is signed "© Swede's Photographs" in the lower-right corner, crediting the photographer." - Copilot

Ready to Strike

The dogs took me for a walk this morning. I started to take my camera, but I didn't. It turns out that I needed it and didn't have it. There were lots of little birds about. If I'd had my camera, I might have captured an image of a species that I haven't photographed before. Oh well, here is a nice image of a snowy egret (Egretta thula) hunting in a tidal pool at Gulfport, Mississippi.

Using the Force (and a bit of charm), I'm guiding you to my photo gallery at:

The image captures a pristine snowy egret in the midst of its hunt in a tide pool. The bird stands in shallow, reflective water, its immaculate ivory plumage set against the dark, textured sand. Both of its legs sink seamlessly into the water, while its head tilts forward and downward as though it has pinpointed its next target. This poised stance, full of quiet intensity, merges with the subtle interplay of scattered pebbles and soft ripples, emphasizing the egret’s precise determination and natural grace.

Graceful Reflection

I thought this was a photo of an immature little blue heron, which was what I was searching for through my photo library. But it is a snowy egret (Egretta thula) moving slowly through a tidal pool searching for food. I just posted a photo of one of these egrets a day or so ago. I hope that you're not disappointed.

😵‍💫 When I snap my fingers 🤌, you will wake up and visit my photo gallery at:

"The image shows a snowy egret moving through the shallow water of a tidal pool. The egret is white with black legs and yellow feet, and it is captured in a moment of stillness, with its reflection clearly visible in the calm water. The bird appears to be searching for food, with its head lowered and beak close to the water's surface. The lighting highlights the egret's feathers and creates a serene and peaceful scene. This image captures the elegance and grace of the snowy egret in its natural habitat, showcasing the beauty of wildlife and nature." - Copilot with edits

Golden Hour Egret

This snowy egret (Egretta thula) was on the beach and Gulfport, Mississippi hunting in the tide pools.

I've had several inquiries about how to get a print of some my photographs. This is a hobby for me, so I haven't been equipped to handle those requests. But I enjoy what I'm doing and want to share my photographs.

So, I set up an account and website with pixels. My website is:

swede1952-photographs.pixels.c

If you want a print of one of my photographs, you can get it there, If I haven't loaded it, let me know which one it is, and I'll gladly load it there for you.

"The image shows a snowy egret standing in shallow water, with its reflection clearly visible on the water's surface. The egret has white plumage, a long black beak, and black legs with yellow feet. The background consists of a sandy shore, and the lighting suggests it is either early morning or late afternoon, casting a warm glow on the scene. The egret appears to be preening its feathers, adding a dynamic element to the image." - Copilot

Tidal Pool Hunters

These two similar looking birds are two different species. The bird in the foreground is a snowy egret (Egretta thula), while the larger bird farther back is an immature little blue heron (Egretta caerulea).

My photo gallery contains more that 1000 images that I've chosen to share. Most are there for their visual appeal but there are a few novelty images. You can check out my gallery at:

"The image shows two white birds, a little blue heron and a snowy egret, hunting in a tidal pool. The birds are wading through shallow water, with their reflections visible on the water's surface. The heron is in the background, bending forward with its beak close to the water, while the egret is in the foreground, also focused on the water. The scene is set against a backdrop of wet sand and water, capturing a moment of natural behavior in a serene environment." - Copilot

Morning Reflection

Here is another early bird that was on the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi. This is a snowy egret (Egretta thula) stealthily moving through a tidal mirror like pool on the beach.

My photo gallery contains more that 900 images that I've chosen to share. Most are there for their visual appeal but there are a few novelty images. You can check out my gallery at:

The image shows a snowy egret walking to the right in a tidal pool. The egret is white with yellow and black legs and a mostly black beak, and it is reflected in the calm water below. The background is blurred, focusing attention on the bird. The image is interesting because it captures the serene moment of the egret hunting, with its reflection adding a symmetrical and artistic element to the photograph. The focus on the fierce bird's yellow eye surrounded by yellow skin is sharp." - Copilot with edits

The Strike

In this image, a snowy egret (Egretta thula) is in the process of pulling back from the water after striking at something beneath.

"The image shows a snowy egret, a medium-sized white bird, standing gracefully on a rock surrounded by water. The egret has a slender black beak, long black legs. and bright yellow feet. Its body is facing towards from the viewer, but its neck stretches down, and the top of its head is visible, as if it’s looking at something in the water. The end of the egret's beak is in the water and droplets of water are frozen in the air in all directions. The bird’s bright white feathers look fluffy and clean, standing out against the darker background. Surrounding the egret are partially submerged rocks, and behind it, on the shore, there are dry reeds or grasses. The sunlight reflects off the water, creating a shimmering effect around the egret’s feet." - Copilot with edits
