We sure enjoyed being so close to Fletcher Park while we were in NC.
The trails are beautiful and nature abounds.
The last time we went, we saw this Great Egret on the pond.
We had some bread for the ducks and it came right over.
Kerplunk !!!
We fed it big chunks of bread!
How special is that?!
I’m joining Tex for the

how awesome he came over to you! beautiful area! thanks for the link!
It is a beautiful walking trail. Love the bird!
I love how close you got to the egret...and I'm insanely jealous. ;))
Very pretty! We have egrets here on the Tennessee River. A blue heron shows up every now and then that a friend of mine has captured on film on her walks on the trail by the river.
A lovely walk.
What a beautiful place, sweet friend! Thanks for sharing with us and may you have a wonderful day! Hugs
What a wonderful treat and a great phot op!!
Love your walks and the egret is beautiful. Have you seen the bird special on PBS lately? They have cameras mounted on the birds and it's amazing to watch them and their migrations.
Wow! You were so lucky to meet that bird and take pictures! That's so cool!:)
That's one spoiled egret! Here they leave as soon as you go their direction.
Looks like a great park. To bad for me I am on the opposite side of the country.
So pretty! It looks like you had a wonderful trip! glad you made it home safely. xoxo

That is a gorgeous place to walk and a lovely fence. How exciting to have the Egret come over for food.
How wonderful to see an egret up close and personal!
I've always wanted to capture water in motion like in your photo with the bird.
Such beautiful pictures, love the rustic fence.Blessings Francine.
What beautiful walks you must of had while in NC! Thanks for sharing these photos with us. Have a wonderful Friday and weekend.

It's a beautiful park. Lovely to get out and enjoy nature too.
I'm surprised an egret would eat bread but maybe it's goes good with fish?
I see you're back in Florida - I'm looking forward to February down there again to get away from our cold winter and snow.
The Egret is such a peculiar looking bird, but so beautiful. You were able to get some nice pictures of it on your walk. Oh Diane, it's always so nice to come along with you on one of your hikes.
It's good to hear that you remember the song "Downtown."
love,

Everything is so beautiful and green!
I wish I could get some of those great nature shots!

Have a wonderful weekend.
Woolie Blessings
I would sure enjoy taking a walk there!
You always capture the most amazing pictures Diane! I've taken a glimpse of some of your more recent posts and can't believe your good fortune with these creatures!mits almost as if they wait for you to strut their stuff :).
Regarding spam, I have a couple of suggestions if I may: one option would be to turn off comments on posts older than 30 days (or you decide the amount of time). I found most of my spam was on older posts. I use to get about 200-300 a day, now I get about 2! Another option is comment moderation, and yet another is Askimet. It really works great, although if you're on blogger can I assume you can't do plug ins? I seem to recall reading that once.
Something else I've seen on some blogs is a box a commenter has to check,rather than captcha which as you know can sometimes be hard to read.
