  22. Deborah MonsterID Icon Deborah UNITED STATES says:

    Indeed a beautiful picture. I love that bird and would like to know more about it. Where was this photo taken, what kind of bird? Why the green?
    Again, BEAUTIFUL!

    • Klaus MonsterID Icon Klaus UNITED STATES says:

      Hi, Deborah!
      The bird is a Great White Egret, a large wading bird. The photo was taken in Central Florida. And the green? This is part of the mating “outfit”. Early in the year, when mating season for these birds starts here in Florida, the area around the bill turns from yellow to green, and the tailfeathers (the single strands, you see on the back are becoming more visible, and are used for the mating display. You can see an album, dedicated to this beautiful bird here:

  26. Definitely BEAUTIFUL … and would work for the ‘reflections’ theme out there too. I shared ‘beautiful’ things on both blogs today. Hope ‘comment luv’ finds the correct posts today … it seems to be missing by one somehow.
    Hugs and blessings,
