Great Egret Chicks...

Strange visitor. BTW, If an aligator had you in its jaws I'd poke it with a stick to let you go!

Well, thank you very much. That'd be mighty helpful!:rollhappy:

Eric, you are so bad! :rollhappy:

Cool photos. Nature is harsh.

Cool photos. Nature is harsh.

Humans are harsher!

Humans are harsher!

And quick to judge!

Has National Geographic offered you a job yet ? I always enjoy your photos and hate Great Blue Herons

there was one in a field across from where I used to work that ate ground squirrels and gophers - no water body anywhere for miles.

Thank you!
No Gilda, they have not, and I am forbidden to enter their photo contests due to my address.
Arizona and Vermont residents cannot either.
Maybe Quebec, Cuba, Sudan were on that list also.

Fascinating Clark! Based on the places you listed, I've tried to come of with reasons why folks are banned from photo contests:

Within the US:

1. Possible connection to Sonoran desert smuggling gangs,
2. People living in regions with overly beautiful canyons having unfair photographic advantage,
3. People who have access to Ben and Jerry's ice cream at its source,
4. People living in states with BOTH green and white mountains - again, unfair photographic advantage,

Outside the US:

1. Ya'll just ain't from 'round here, iz yah?
2. Possible connection to the Quebecois Separatists Movement,
3. Too much maple syrup!
4. Possible communist sympathizer (outdated fear, but we stick to our guns),
5. Possible illegal exporter of cigars, nickel, and cobalt,
6. We're ticked off your exporting so much oil to China,

And finally, why you can't enter in you own Garden State,

1. Baby, you were born to run (we need more stable employees).

From what I read online, so don't quote me on this-
NJ-contest that is skill related and has an entry fee, is prohibited for NJ residents.


National Geo has $15/photo fee, enter as many as you like.

I could move, as an image would be eligible for two years of shutter click.

To me, this is effing bullshit.

I think one of the Koreas was on that list also.
