A Snowy Egret and reflection, in rippled water, as it raises its leg out of the water to step foward towards some food hopefully.  Overcast day, no strong shadows.

I know it won't be the only #SteppingOut Snowy Egret for #BirdoftheDay, they look so cool raising those yellow feet out of the water or mud. Gives good ripples too! #Birds ๐Ÿชถ #EastCoastKin #PhotographersofBlueSky

Nine square botanical photographs arranged in a grid, each showing a naturally heart-shaped form. A cyclamen leaf with pale green marbling; a pink bleeding heart flower; clusters of tiny white flowers; a snowdrop; curled fern fronds; shepherdโ€™s purse seed pods; a delicate umbel; blue forget-me-nots forming a heart shape; and a pair of swelling buds. Soft green backgrounds throughout.

Hint of #ColorADay #RedWed as Mrs.Cardinal stops by for a nibble. Lots to think about..

A view from above! Untouched snow among the beach grass and Adirondack chairs on our front yard.  ๐ŸŒด at the right and as you look down the clean snow path on the road the ocean is in the background. Beach houses closed up and quiet from this viewpoint.
