Today, I'm going to talk about the photo outings or photo shoots that don't go as expected.  I went to a place where I pretty much always can find lots of egrets and herons and I wanted photos specifically of those birds.  Well, I went to the spot, it was late in the day and I got exactly zero good shots of egrets or herons.  I did see one egret and one heron but they stayed at the far end with the busy trees as the background.  Even though I didn't get elegant flying egrets or herons, I found a wealth of wonderful photo opportunities at that waters edge and I thought I'd share them with you today.

So, next time you are looking for a specific shot and you get to the site and realize that it isn't going to happen.  Don't give up.  Sit still, observe your surroundings and you might be happier with what you find than your original plan even.
