Here’s our Small Egret sitting in Mr. GBH’s favourite spot. Either he’s feeling very brave, or someone has told him that ‘The Boss’ has gone away for a long weekend.
I’m linking this to Charlotte’s ‘Feathers on Friday’ challenge. My friend Anna Of ‘Una Vista Di San Fermo’ blog has re-nominated me to do the 7 Days of Nature Challenge. If any of you nature lovers would also like to also join in, please do.
Wishing you all a splendid weekend. Our friend Leah and her husband have kindly invited hubby and I to share their Passover Dinner this evening. I’m really looking forward to a brand new experience.
So sweet ๐ I hope you enjoyed your Passover dinner Sylvia, I went to one once and thought it a wonderful and moving experience xx
Thanks, Sherri. Yes we had a lovely evening. There were seven of us, all good friends. The food was delicious and the company was delightful. The hosts weren’t very orthodox Jews, so apart from everything we ate and drank being kosher, it was just like a normal dinner party. xx
Wonderful…good friends and good food. Nothing like it! ๐ xx
Agreed. xx ๐
Have a lovely day my friend ๐ xx
You too. It must be evening there by now, so sleep well. ๐ xx
Thanks Sylvia… it’s 8.15 now but I’m hoping for a good sleep later as we’re having to sleep in the living room on the sofa bed as we’ve been decorating our bedroom and getting it ready for new carpet delivered tomorrow…the cats love it, and take full advantage of course!! Will be so nice to have our bedroom back to normal…and you know all about that…but hopefully not for too much longer ๐ xx
dat da bere agli assetati…:-)
Thanks, Annalisa, Glad you enjoyed this. ๐ x
I love those yellow feet!
Thanks, Charlotte. Me too. ๐
This was a perfect feathers post with my liking this little guy, Egor the Egret. Just kidding, Sylvia, but the silliness let loose a bit! ๐ I know you will enjoy Passover meal with friends. My Dad’s best friend as an adult was Irving Lezberg and we three children were thrilled since their family had 4 children and an indoor two floors high atrium with parrots inside. ๐ We went to one of the boy’s bar mitzvah and had a few special holiday meals there. ๐
Thanks, Robin. We had a wonderful evening with our friends. Thanks for sharing your happy memories with me. ๐
Beautiful pic, Sylvia. I hope you enjoyed the Passover Dinner xxx
Thanks so much, Dianne. We had a really enjoyable evening with delicious food and lots of laughs. ๐
Watching egrets and herons are truly some of my favorite things, love the photo.
Thanks, Charlie. I don’t see as many at this house as I did at the previous one, but I have my iguanas to make up for it. ๐
Schรถner Reiher wรผnsche dir einen schรถnen Sonntag liebe Grรผรe und Umarmung Gislinde
Thanks so much, Gislinde. Happy Sunday to you too. ๐ xx
I hope small Egret hasn’t overstepped the mark!
I think he got away with it this time. ๐
Well, Sylvia, a change is as good as a rest. Lovely photo!
Thanks, Tom. ๐
He is a brave soul isn’t he;). Enjoy your dinner
I think so, Kathy. We had such great evening. ๐
Very beautiful picture of a very beautiful birdie, Sylvia ๐ Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend ๐ โค
Thanks so much, Binky and Granny. Hope yours is a happy weekend too. xx
He is trying very hard to blend into the background there – maybe hoping that he will not be spotted and news will not reach Mr GBH.
He does blend in very nicely, doesn’t he? I haven’t seen Mr. GBH for a couple of days. ๐
he seems so at home there
Yes, he does. Looks like he belongs. ๐
I like all the tan tree stuff hanging – adds so much interest – great shot and love egrets – looks like you are not missing your old habitat at the old place –
I’m loving my new surroundings, Yvette, but I do miss seeing Mr, A. He was one of a kind. ๐
I know -!!!
The Egret is brave indeed! Enjoy your Seder
Yes he is, Lisa. Thanks so much, we had a lovely Seder. ๐
Good to hear!
How wonderful! ๐
Thanks, Nandini. ๐
I think Small Egret is trying to show what he is made of – that he can be better than Mr GBH *gasp* How nice of Leah and family. Enjoy ๐
Yes, I think so too, and I think he got away with it. ๐ We had a lovely evening with our friends. ๐
Good guys think alike ๐
It appears so, YC. It’s a good fishing lookout. ๐
You bring back memories of sharing Passover with friends in the Boston suburbs many eons back! I finally got to see some of the smaller egrets like yours on my journey through the south west. You may get to see it, too, if I can just get organized.
We had a lovely evening and dinner. They aren’t orthodox, so apart from having all kosher food and wine, it was just like any other dinner party. They did explain the symbolism of certain dishes she had prepared. Very interesting indeed. What exactly are you getting organised? ๐
What I am trying to organize are the 1,000 plus images I snapped on this 9 day trip! It’s taking awhile, but gradually I’m sorting through the discards or the keepers. ๐ฅ
I hope you tell us what kind of food you have, I have no idea ๐
I’ll try to remember. ๐
Enjoy the Passover dinner, Sylvia.
Thanks, Carol. We sure did. ๐
so patient he is
Patience is the name of the game when it comes to fishing. ๐
When the boss is away, we know who likes to play.
๐ There’s no answer to that one, Frank.
He looks brave, really…
Love this!
Glad you think so, Anna. ๐
He watching something …! Brilliant shot Sylvia, mooie photo!
Thanks so much, DellaAnna. ๐
Hulle vlieg elke aand hier oor ons huise
๐ Most probably they do.
Beautiful bird! ๐
He really is gorgeous. ๐
You have such great wildlife there in Florida, Sylvia. Enjoy your new experience of the Passover dinner. ๐
Yes we do, Cathy. I’m sure we’ll have a great evening. There’ll be a few more of our Jewish friends there too. ๐
Enjoy your Passover dinner.

I already did, Nancy. Thanks. ๐
Have a great weekend S- xx
Thanks, Cheryl. ๐

Do they have a structured setup on territory I wonder ๐
Maybe they do it in shifts. ๐
ya That’s gotta be it lol!
The white Egret is a realy beauifull bird
Thanks, Marylou. Yes, it really is. ๐
Oh that looks like a very dangerous place to lounge I must say. Gulp, hopefully not literally. Enjoy your evening!
Thanks, Sue. I’ll leave them to sort out their own territorial problems. ๐
I love the reflection, Sylvia. Have a nice time this evening!
Thanks so much, Jill. I’m sure we will, ๐
