Upon returning home from church today (see previous post), we saw that our Neighborhood Egret had come by for a visit!
Karen quickly grabbed the camera, but she needn’t have rushed...
Our Egret calmly walked around our motorhome

Eventually it walked out our front gate,
Eventually it walked out our front gate,
then took flight over the green field by our place.
We say 'our' Egret because we’ve been spotting her/him around here for the past several days.
At first, we thought it was a Snowy Egret.

We know now it’s really a Great White Egret.
It stands three feet high --that's half the height of a man.

It is magnificent to watch as it serenely takes flight!
As you can see from these photos, we truly enjoyed its visit to us today....

Indeed, we love it when our neighbors here come to visit us!
...and how many people do you know who can make that statement with such confidence?
