Roseate Spoonbills

Such beautiful colors on these birds.  Landing in the nesting area is a controlled crash at best.

Spring in Texas

It is an honor to watch the transformation that takes place at this time of year.  The birds are transformed with beautiful plumage as they begin mating and nesting.  Here is my interpretation of the egrets as I share some of this journey with you.

Plume drape reminds me of the shape of military cargo planes

Big Bend

Big Bend in January was cold, sometimes cloudy, and absoutely fabulous.  Hope you enjoy my journey.
