This egret ate many, many frogs and tadpoles while I watched him for a few hours in this marsh. Besides him, there were several Little Blue Herons, Green Herons, and Yellow-crowned Herons there all eating frogs, tadpoles, small bream, and large crawdads. When I say, "frogs", I mean literally thousands of small ones hopping across the vegetation on top of the water.
I'll never forget the time I spent in this place. I spent around 40-ish hours there one week shooting all kinds of things.

A beautiful White Tail deer came up and asked if I knew what time it was. I said, "Yeah"..
I miss this place, the Wichita Mountains in Western Oklahoma.

This moon was taken in January of 2013 while camera was on a tripod.
Although the moon has color, we don't see it because its bright headlights are glaring at us, but this is what it looks like when I am in outer space, which is quite a bit, according to my wife.
