In your face, Monday.

Another one where I went back and forth and back and forth trying to decide whether it should be a color or b&w photograph. Obviously I finally decided on B&W. :) Egret at Dublin Zoo! (Someone had to correct me on this, I had put it down as an ibis due to them living with the ibis…es…and I wasn’t thinking enough. Egret! Probably snowy! :))

This magnificently ugly fellow is Ted’s nemesis at the zoo. Every time they’ve encountered each other, the hornbill defends his territory like crazy. Ted wasn’t with us when I took this, and the hornbill was showing off mightily for his lady friend, so I got some great pictures. :)

This one’s mostly for Ursula. :) Baby moorhen, and my recollection of taking the picture is that it involved practically lying down in the mud to get on the right level with the wee little creature. :)

He got it. :)
