half an hour for the rain to come to a stop, and then we were off to get more photos.
when we were running to the truck in the rain we noticed the great egret (shown above) and we were hoping he/she did not fly off after the rain. at first we were disappointed because we did not see him/her again, until we got to the other side of the lake. on our second trip around the lake, the egret flew toward us, and landed close by. as we approached it stood still for a few nice photos, and then took flight again so i could get the photo shown above.
