Got Laguna?  Why yes, right here.  Flippancy aside, you are correct  to assume that I’ve not trained my camera on the Laguna de Santa Rosa for awhile.  That doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about it. I figured there would be good photos to make as the last cold front bobbled over Sonoma County, dropping very little, if any rain.  What was left in the frontal passage was an opportunity to add some depth to the sky while photographing.  All those beautiful clear days-while extremely gratifying-leads a storm chasing photographer to fantasize about clouds.  Well, I sorta got my fix on Wednesday.

Snowy and great egrets gather in a small pool of water at the Laguna de Santa Rosa Wednesday June 25, 2014. As the winter and spring floods have receded, hot summer weather is beginning to dry out the periphery of the Laguna, leaving small pools of water in which the birds hunt from.
