I took my camera along to work again today, knowing I had a long day ahead and the likelihood of an interesting pic or two perhaps a little challenged. I thought maybe some kangaroos during the day, should I manage to get out of the office in between classes; perhaps a dragonfly along the way; perhaps even just the quiet of the pond lily...
In fact, just as I pulled up and switched off the engine...snap...

...the egret had landed. And I thought, 'well, that'll do me today'.
I still took the cam to the office, who knows. And then, on the way back to the car some twelve hours later, I spotted that special breed of nocturnal kangaroo...

| Oh, the day's actually over? Really? |
OK, maybe they were mistaking the light for the 'light' or something but I don't recall seeing them so out in the open at night.
This was taken in very low light conditions (very high ISO 6400) and without a tripod. The kangas didn't seem to mind.
And then all the way home, driving along the highway the moon rose in the east. There was just enough when I got home for a third bite of the cherry. It usually works out in the end.
