These two have had a great time enjoying their blossom break 🌸

White Lego flower among polystyrene fragments and microplastics on the strandline.

Another day, another Lego flower. There were 128,000 white Lego flowers in the shipping container that fell overboard from the Tokio Express in 1997. They were originally shipped in sets of four, attached to a central sprue. Still turning up, 28 years on.

As is quite apparent given many images in my feed, I love photographing snowy egrets. They are so very elegant and beautiful. They fly with grace and finesse. And they always have their yellow slippers on. #photography #birds #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #egrets
