Not just a good shot, a great shot! I would have a print made for a wall somewhere.
Yeah, I have looked everywhere, more than once, to figure out the difference between an Egret and a Heron. I don't think there is an agreed upon definition!

It's a Great Egret. I'm tempted to call it a Great White Egret to give it the same respect that the Great Blue Heron gets, but people don't like it when I do that! There is a Snowy Egret that looks much the same but has bright yellow feet, a yellow and black beak and is much smaller. Unless compared side by side they are hard to tell apart unless you remember the difference in beak color. And feet color, of course. If you can see their feet!

I love Gators. In the three years I spent photographing in the Florida swamps, I have many, many photos of Gators! Gator eating Gators. Gators eating fish. Gators eating turtles. Gators bellowing. Gators with baby Gators. Gators just being beautiful!
In all that time I have only had one close (dangerous) encounter and that was a mistake on my part. NOT the Gators fault! And, wait...yep, I just checked. I still have two hands and two feet!
And I can't run very fast anymore either!

Did I say that I love Gators?
