Hope you get well soon. Love the photos of the egret and swamphens. I will have a post this coming week...getting photos has been difficult over the summer with the extreme heat and now I neck-deep in two projects (finishing a quilt for my grandson that will be his birthday present in December and can't wait for me to finish after we do the move...and packing!) Have a better week!A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-61636408557406396802016-10-15T17:50:18.860+11:002016-10-15T17:50:18.860+11:00Its not easy being green or in a dentist's cha...Its not easy being green or in a dentist's chair.

But, that ...My bird is bigger than your bird :) ... But, that said, your intermediate Egret caught a sizable frog and my Great Egret caught a teeny tiny frog. Who do you think is happier? So glad you are feeling better and so sorry you had to spend any time in a dentist chair, let alone an hour. Everything starts to go downhill, even the teeth, after a certain age. But you have a long way to go so it is good that you are taking care of things now :) Sorry, I seem to be a day late on some regular basis these days. If you are not up and running when I post, it is not likely I will get back to link with you until the next day. I lead a busy, productive (mostly fun stuff) life :). Stay well, Stewart and fun that we had the same birds catching the same but slightly different frogs in our post this week. Great minds, as the saying goes ... :)<br /><br />Andrea @ From The Sol Andrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-73680161939683481672016-10-13T00:28:55.694+11:002016-10-13T00:28:55.694+11:00poor Mr. Froggy.
