Some up close shots of egrets that were just posing several days ago at the refuge, without any fear of humans.
A younger version of the above Snowy Egret.
Finally a shot of a water lily flower taken on the way out of the refuge.

Superb, Hien! Wow, you do have a way with white subjects – flowers and birds. You always get the tones perfectly. I really enjoyed seeing the adult and juvie together like this – the photo of the adult is so very, very handsome, and then the youngster is just plain awkward. Cute. The pair flying – a classic shot of parent and child! The water lily is classic as well, in a different way. 🙂

They’re so beautiful, I don’t blame you. Did you have similar birds growing up in Vietnam?

We do have egrets, big and small, in Viet Nam. But I was a city boy and rarely saw them.

You make it look so easy, Hien! I’ve been “stalking” a white egret and not one of my pics came out good. And the one you took of them taking off. WOW!! Truly phenomenal! Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
