Surprises in my camera

Copyright 2006 Lydia Hinshaw

ORMOND BEACH, FL -- Even with a decent-sized display on the back of my digital camera, I sometimes don't realize what I've got until I get it into my computer.
Wednesday morning, I shot my ritual half-dozen frames of Double Knee-kill, my favorite snowy egret. I didn't expect much, and was pleasantly surprised when I downloaded the photos this afternoon.
The oil-painting effect is the early morning sky reflected in the Halifax River.
I must have shot 1,000 frames of this bird over the past two years, and most of I've deleted. This one, however, goes in my keeper file.
The shrimp, incidentally, is courtesy of the Granada Pier bait shop.
