An Egret is a heron with white plumage and this one was standing at bit of a distance on Sunday. This was taken along the Willamette River, a few blocks from the Delta Ponds where I saw the blue heron. He seemed to be enjoying the sun as much as I was.
We have not seen that much sun since Sunday and today it is drizzling. I ran around to take care of another LP record sale, with the buyer in France. Postage was $23.50 but he did not mind, since he was already paying $37 for my old Mississippi John Hurt album.
Now, I am off to play ping pong for a while.

We have Egrets all over--especially after a rain they come to get the 'goodies' out of the lawns!
Ping pong? That's exercise!!! Don't you know exercise is no good for you??

egrets are a bigger bird than they appear. theres a lot of them out here, almost as much as cattle at times.
theres an egret joke ive heard before, but i cant really remember it, i just know the punch line was something like "I EGRET nothing!"
(waa waa waaaaaaaaa)

The word lends itself to jokes about regrets.

I suspect it will, but since he agreed to that shipping method, it is not a problem.

Yes, I thought I had it priced too high. The herons and egrets are pretty common here.

Within the US, I can use media mail for albums, only about $2.50. I was surprised it sold so quickly.

@JudyEv Perhaps so. Ours is only good in country.

@JamesHxstatic That sounds pretty reasonable. Maybe we have similar packages for records.

Some of my LPs are worth a bit and some may not be, I guess. I have about 60 items listed and need to add more.

Yes, it was an LP and there is no rate for overseas. Shipping in the US can be media mail and is about $2.50.

Just over a year ago we had several white herons in the field behind out house. At first I wasn't sure what I was seeing, but the second time I saw them, I had time to study them a bit before they flew off.

Nice to make a few bucks for an album you didn't want anymore.
