Helpful Posts: Hi, fellows. I went to Nova Friburgo last Sunday, with my family. We visited the local country club. Here are some shots of a great egret having a fresh tilapia as a lunch. There is more to come, as I divided the images in 4 threads (I hope they will not be boring to you!). C&C welcomed. Thanks for viewing.
1 - Warming up!
2 - Grabbing some lunch...
3 - ..transporting it...
4 - ...carefully...
5 - ...landing...
6 - ..and, finally, eating!
7 - Now, where is the dessert??

I'm having trouble picking a favorite because they are all so good. I think its #5, The Landing. And we won't be bored!! (well I guess I can't speak for everyone but I'd like to see more.

It's all been said, but worth repeating, excellent shots! We all can dream of such an opportunity, and that we could pull it off so well!!
