(I took this photo of a Snowy Egret at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge in northern Utah, USA. For more information about this bird and the bird refuge, see my previous posting on the Snowy Egret here.)
This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is to share a photo
that means solitary to you!
Linking up with:

Lovely (& by co-incidence I have a shot taken last Sunday almost the same – my shot doesn’t have as sharp a focus as yours).
Thank you, Victoria! I’d love to see your photo if you plan to post it on your blog.
So lovely and what a graceful looking bird.
Thank you, Ida! I appreciate you hopping over to here from Blogger.
Awesome shot, Fergie! I haven’t had any success capturing birds in flight.
Thank you, Gracie! They are really challenging shots, but I enjoy it and just keep practicing. I’m sure you will have success.

This photo brought memories of a book called “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”. Great shot.
Thank you very much! Yes, I was reminded of the same thing when I saw the photo.
A magical solitary bliss indeed. Wouldn’t it be amazing to wake each day feeling like this? This is what beautiful dreams are made of.
Thank you, IT! Oh, yes, what a great feeling that would be.
Ah, yes, solitary bliss!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Marina! Yes, that’s the feeling I got just seeing this graceful bird in flight.
Beautiful capture…you can even see the ‘snowiness’ of his feathers.

You take amazing photos to go with your beautiful poetry…I wanted to let you know that the monarch butterfly on my hand in my blog post is one I raised from an egg and is waiting to fly off…I have never had one land on me…that would be neat though..Michelle
Thank you so much, Michelle! Thanks for the info. I still think it’s very cool to have a butterfly in your hand, and even more special that you raised it.
A lovely scene — even if it’s from the backside! Thank you for sharing at Your Sunday Best this week.
Thank you very much, Nancy!
Beautiful! Great shot Fergie!

Very nice shot of the Egret.

Sorry, so so sorry that it’s taken me so long to come pay you a visit and view your beautiful egret in flight. I haven’t been online much….so, I do apologize.
Thanks for linking up at the Bird D’Pot this week.
Thank you, Annie! So glad you were able to stop by.
Wonderful shot!!! An a difficult one!!!!
Thank you, ilargia! Yes, it is definitely a challenge capturing a bird in flight.
Fantastic shot. 😉
Thank you, Eliz! I was hoping that some of my bird flight shots would turn out.
