Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Ok, I went out but the sun went behind a cloud, still the brakes work (though my legs/lungs didn't resulting in me walking up a hill but still being the 4th fastest this year, so I must walk faster than some others).

I got an unexpected ride in this afternoon as we gave up at work due to a dead server and came home. But Mr Hop didn't allow time for photo stops, so no pics. There were no flowers at all on today's route but it was absolutely glorious and

I suppose you told him that he needs to get your his priorities in the right order

Does he know how important this is in your life?

I don't think I've ever seen so many little egrets huddled around like that!

This is the calendar photo for the month of February this year (I do an annual calendar for family).

It is full of little egrets!

OK that didn't work... Can't link between forums...
Back to the old fashioned way...

Does anyone know at what point in their lives egrets shed that green bit?

When they learn to fly?

Don't they leave it behind?

So we've egrets to blame for all that green rubbish lying about in parks and fields? Something should be done.

Can we have this as a thread anthem please?

I might try for some purple and orange egrets in a few days, when more of them have hatched.

Any yellow ones? I can watch the purple ones here!

I think there were some near the white egrets I took this morning, but they haven't hatched properly yet and I was too busy working out that my phone really wasn't going to take another pic to notice exactly what colours they will be. They are not quite the same breed of egret as the white ones, you understand?

(I think AndyRM has led us into a whole new level of silliness!!)

So they may be the greater egret rather than the lesser egret....
