It is obvious that I took the picture of the great egret to capture the reflection through the reeds, but when I took the photograph, I did not notice two heads in the reflection, a turtle swimming out of the frame on the right, and an out of focus dragonfly hovering in front of the egret's knees. I'm sure everyone has experienced this, but I always find it interesting to discover what I did not see.

The second photograph is sandpipers taken at the same sight but on a different day. It looks to me like it would make a good jigsaw puzzle. I hope you enjoy.
