I was happy to get this close to the Great Egret but it wasn't quite close enough.
This is better, but I wonder if we can get closer. . .
Well, yes we can. :) I like this I think better than if he was looking at me, it's like we're sneaking up on him.
Hope everyone had a fantastic Easter Weekend!
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. Don't forget to visit each other. :)
Beautiful shots Lisa. I love the last one especially - nice contrast and details.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI love the middle one with his glowing beak.
that last one kinda makes me want to scratch his head :) Great shots...good sneaking job! They either seem to flush so easily or like to see how close you can get. These are great!
ReplyDeleteWow...super inspiring..what a treat to see it so upclsoe..so beautiful..awesome shots of such lovely creatures!!
ReplyDeleteHope to have a mm up soon..!
Kiki~
Fantastic shots. Well done. I too like the way it appears that you have snuck up on him in the final shot.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed you managed to get this close. I always think egrets look regal. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to get such wonderful captures of the egret! Absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteLisa, these are marvelous. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI love the close up and how you can see all the little feathers sticking up. The bird shots that you've been posting have been amazing. I'm saving up for a good telephoto so I can get a little closer to the birds around me.
ReplyDeleteGreat bird, the beek seems sharp and the eyes looks very intense
ReplyDeleteThe second one is my favourite where you can see the light in between the beak and it looks like it has a small beard ;-)
Beautiful Egret shots! Happy Easter Lisa!

Great egret shots!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that last one - the dark background is a great foil for him, too!
ReplyDeletewow, you catch the greatest shots of wildlife....i don't think I even see wildlife here in suburbia.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI entered the worong link first by mistake, and then added the correct one... you can go ahead and delete the worng link for Himvad Gopalswamy temple under the name Sammy's Photoblog. Sorry for the trouble

I saw some egrets at the park today, but they were too far away and I don't have the powerful zoom lens to photograph them Yours are simply awesome.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos of the Egret! You're so close to it..Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble leaving comment today, so here I go again..
ReplyDeleteI love your close-up of the great Egret..I don't get to see this around here.
Great closeups! I have never gotten that close to an egret so I'm very impressed!
ReplyDelete[...] Macro Monday for more [...]
ReplyDeleteSo nice! I really like the middle shot because of the beak. Love how you were able to get so close to it!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL creature! And love the variety of your shots, Lisa... great work! Happy Day :o) ((HUGS))
ReplyDeletethese are wonderful shots - very very cool!
ReplyDeleteoh Lisa, these photos are stunning. isn't it always exciting when we can get up close and personal with the wildlife we're trying to capture? i'm still practicing with my camera to get as good as yourself.
ReplyDeletesorry for my absence. good to be back though, :)
Oh my!!!! What a great shot!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing shots! I really love the detail in the last one. I'd be afraid of getting that close, I think. :) Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteStunning shots!
ReplyDeleteWOW ... these are simply MARVELOUS captures ;-)

ReplyDeleteThese are really, really magical, Lisa. I am in awe of what you accomplished. Wow.
ReplyDeleteMy green eyes are definitely green with jealousy to see this majestic bird! Lisa, your photos are WOW! I'm imagining you there and am speechless. So happy you enjoyed! Enter these photos in a contest!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot! I envy your lenses............ I need a job that pays me lots of money so I can buy lenses :P Love to stop by and see your great photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful egret! I don't get to see them around here..
ReplyDeleteBTW-I tried twice to leave a comment yesterday, but they won't go through..must be bad timing..
stunning. occasionally we see egrets at the swamp near our house, but never this close up!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love seeing the depth of the green eyelid on that last shot!
ReplyDeleteNothing I can say can top the comments you've already had. It's good to see you get so much feedback on such wonderful portraits of a beautiful species.
ReplyDeleteI can't get over the texture in these. It's fantastic! And that blinding white really does jump right out of the dark background in the last shot.
ReplyDeleteWOW ... these are simply MARVELOUS captures ;-)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
