EDEN BY THE SEA

Another one of my morning walk photos taken using my iphone. I was on the boardwalk and noticed two egrets walking on the grassy side of the beach obviously in search of breakfast. While photographing these beautiful creatures, I noticed the curtains of light streaming out of the clouds in the distance. The whole scene reminded me of drawings of the Garden of Eden…that if Eden was by the sea and had only two egrets for residents.

CHECKING OUT THE MENU



I was having a hard time composing my photo until this bird landed on this rock. I just don’t know what this bird is…Blue Heron? Anyway, it was interesting to see this bird checking out the fishes like it was selecting it’s next meal…I do think these Koi’s are way too big for it.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

The Everglades is home to Floridas countless variety of wildlife species with the strongest and fiercest ones staying on top of the food chain. I was lucky enough to capture this photo of two birds fighting for territorial dominance with the bigger bird winning the duel.  In such a wild environment, everyday is a fight for survival for these animals.  Surprisingly, this scenario is not quite far in comparison to us humans where life in itself is also about the survival of the fittest.
