Snowy Egret

Snowy Egret - Palo Alto Baylands

Sometimes I just revel in the spontaneity of photography, when the destination is the impetus, not the goal, and the results are unpredictable. My Sunday afternoon jaunt to the Palo Alto Baylands turned out to be a real treat.

I had no idea what I would find when I drove past the duck pond out to the parking area at the end of the road. Usually I long for a LONGER lens than my usual 70-210 telephoto. Today was special, though, as a small collection of egrets were wading and foraging in the low tide ponds right alongside the path. They couldn't have been more than 15-20 meters away.

They didn't stay long, but I certainly appreciated their patience...
