Today I’m participating in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge and her theme is “the color white”. I encourage you to click on each photo to see a larger view. If you like what you see, please subscribe to this blog to receive updates of the new photos I post, usually 3 to 5 times a week.
I was going to feature flowers for this photo theme until I realized that I’ve taken quite a lot of photos of birds recently, and a number of them happen to be white. So here’s an all white bird series of photos, starting with the white great egret, who loves to hang out by the water, looking for some yummy fish to catch. I have yet to capture that moment on camera so for today, the bird looking for food will have to do. By the way, the birds in the water are American coots. You’ll want to check out their super weird / cool looking feet in my previous post.

The white egret is a lot smaller than the great egret (probably a third of the size) but it hangs out by the water too since it eats fish. Those birds are so used to standing next to people with fishing pole, they aren’t scared easily, which makes it a lot easier for me to photograph them.

Finally I found these two white ducks swimming together in a pond at another park. I was wondering when I’d have a chance to feature them, so here they are. By the way, I love the almost still water reflections in this photo.

Wow, you captured that reflection brilliantly!
Thank you, Carrie! Swimming ducks and a lot of wind can really mess up reflections in the water, but not that day with the white ducks was very cool.
Your whites are simply gorgeous, as always!! Thanks for playing!
Thank you very much, Cee. It was a fun photo challenge.
You are right, Milka, the reflections are totally different, like I said in response to your comment on my blog: as different as fingerprints….
And water is constantly moving so you never know what the reflections are going to look like any any time.
Great white color, BTW…
Beautifully done! White is not easy to photograph. Love the reflections!
White is a challenge to photograph, and I think the darker backgrounds help a lot.
Gorgeous whites!
Thank you very much!

Nice photos. I like the small white egret most.
Thank you very much! Those small egrets are everywhere there’s water here.
Wow, great photos! I absolutely love the one of the ducks 🙂
Thank you! I have more photos of those two ducks but I think this is my favorite.
