Thank you, Ebie.
I love the beautiful egret and the gorgeous blossoming trees. It is a beautiful time of the year. thanks for sharing.
I’ve read both Lucette Lagnado’s books, and yes, she is a wonderful writer. There is a lot of sadness in her tale, but she is also able to find the good in people, especially within her family.
Love the red and white combination of tree blossoms.
I enjoyed her first book, and just know I will like this one, as well.
Beautiful spring shot. I love the photo of the egret.
All of these photos are wonderful. I like your photo of the egret, but those trees in bloom are spectacular.
