Strange to find a quiet spot in Yosemite, but we did mid-week in May.

Photo from shore of a section of still water of the Merced River, surrounded by willowy plants and trees along a beach shore. A pedestrian bridge in the distance with large granite mountains behind.

Long, slender neck of an egret, with a great pose 😅

Photo of an egret taken from behind, so only back and long neck are seen, not the face. Long, skinny legs are spread in the sand, just on the outside of a foamy little ocean wave. Reflection of egret is seen in the watery shore.

A curlew was successful at grabbing a little bit at Avila Beach, CA

A photo (shooting into sun so captured more of a silhouette w/reflection) of a curlew, one foot submerged in the wet sand, the other leg lifted a bit in mid stride. There is a sand dab in its long, arched beak.

The glow from the lights of a bridge in Zadar, Croatia make for an interesting design on the water.

Photo taken at night looking down a pedestrian bridge. The bridge has bars all along, creating a handrail. The bars are lit up. The reflection in the green water picks up this lighting, making for an interesting pattern as the water has a slight movement to it.
