So cute for capturing these baby egrets. I have to laugh with their fluffy feathers and reminds me someone having "a Bad Hair Day" experience after getting out of bed. v/f
Carolyn Marshall replied:
They sure do! Some things are so ugly they are adorable, and these fit that bill. Thanks!

This is wonderful! I really like that you didn't clear out the stems and branches between the lens and the babies. I think a lot of photographers would have done that and it would have ruined the idea that you were stealing a peek into a spot where cameras normally don't get to go. Well done!
Carolyn Marshall replied:
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Deborah. Yes, I agree with you on the branches. It is a natural setting, and we were literally walking through nature happening before our eyes. There were places you could actually see them breaking through the eggs.
