In a small lake just a few minutes from our home, we found this large flock of egrets. There where egrets  in the water, in the trees.......everywhere. 

Patti took this shot with her telephoto, and we were both amazed at the strange results.  Dozens of egrets..... and their reflections. Thousands of dying lily pads ...and their reflections. Hundreds of trees ...and their reflections....and their shadows. My first reaction when I saw this shot was, gosh Patti, what is that stuff all over your lens?

Pretty weird results and not exactly what we were hoping for.  

Here is a major photoshop  rework of this image, it looks better I think although many of the egrets are erased, but most of the nasty looking dead lily pads are gone as well.:

Back on the streets at dusk today. The building on the left with the green lighting used to be the main Post Office, but now it is a pub. It's amazing how many new pubs sprung up a few years ago when they built the University :)

Thanks for the comments on my latest Nature collage for the calendar, it has been a labour of love and is finally almost finished.

(Dec. 1, 2009) This will be the last of the Gypsy Rose shots for a little while. I think I've used up my quota of goodwill in the house.
