While some parts of the world are shivering and wading through snowbanks, there's still plenty of fishing to be had at the Gilbert Riparian Reserve here in metropolitan Phoenix. I thought I'd show you some of the fishermen I met there one afternoon. Click on any of the photos to view them in larger sizes.
Has anyone ever seen a happy egret? |
This osprey was happy with its lunch. |
Then there are the fishermen who crave peace and quiet. See him? |
Oops. He just came out to tell me to be quiet. Shhh! |
The Great Blue Heron moved away, but he doesn't need to know about zoom lenses! |
Very peaceful shots :-)
ReplyDeleteYes... because if there were anything wrong, the fishermen wouldn't be there. :-)
DeleteLovely photos :)
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy the wildlife photos and envy those who have the patience and skill to snap them.

Thanks, Carol!
DeleteI Love bird photos! These are great and as always I love the egret best!
ReplyDeleteEgrets always look so stylish, don't they?
DeleteCute fishermen...and gorgeous fishing spots. I especially would enjoy No. 3 and 4. Very nice and isolated.
ReplyDeleteHere's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
That's what the heron thought, too!
DeleteBeautiful. Wish I knew more about swooping in on birds. Or wish birds would sit much closer!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Saturday Snapshot. I hope you will stop by! And Happy New Year!
If you can sit still long enough, they usually oblige. :-)
DeleteI love the photos, especially the one at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out a little more atmospheric than I thought it would. :-)
DeleteWonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteBeautiful! How amazing to live so close to nature!
ReplyDeleteIt's all around us. :-)
DeleteCathy, what amazing pictures you have! What a talent!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks!
DeleteCathy - Oh, you got such wonderful shots! I've always thought egrets were such gorgeous birds...
ReplyDeleteStylish, yes-- but they always look so grumpy!
DeleteI never would have noticed the heron in the "fisherman" shot without the follow-up photos (then I knew what to look for). Fun series of photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteBeautiful photos...you are a great photographer.
ReplyDeleteMine is a winter photo.
