It was very foggy on this particular morning on Sanibel Island in Florida — perfect weather to capture the bright pink plumage of roseate spoonbills. This lone spoonbill was sifting through the shallow water feeding on minnows. The fog cleared just enough to record the landscape in the background, while still rendering the surface of the water almost completely white.

Love this as a “mood”picture, but I love the close up of the roseate spoonbill even more that you posted long ago. These birds fascinate me, plus I love their home habitat of Sanibel Island.
