The lad is a good photographer but he's not a whiz with geography.

Mix together pepper, salt, and flour. Coat egret breasts with seasoned flour.
In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat oil. Place egret breasts in skillet and brown on both sides. Then remove egret breasts from skillet and set aside.
To the skillet, add wine and stir until the wine is heated. Add juice, stock, and mushrooms. Stir to toss, reduce heat, and cook for about 10 minutes until the sauce is partially reduced.
Return browned egret breasts to skillet. Spoon sauce over the egret.
Cover and cook for about 5-10 minutes or until egret is done.
Serve sauce over egret. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Yield: 4 servings--Serving Size: 1 snowy egret breast with 1/3 cup sauce
Yepper....that was pretty good. Very creative in insightful there, Ben. I see many faces in flowers. Especially the cartoonish weird character types. Here are some recent shots of orchids that reminded me of alien/cartoonish faces.

Nice butterfly/shot, Harry. Is that a Florida native?? Do you know what kind of 'bly that is? I've not seen that one before.
Oh yeah....what does that have to do with knights (helmet) ?? Perhaps my shot was a far stretch....with the SmugMug logo..but ..:uhoh

Hey Mike,
He's a native of the Viera Zoo anyhow. They had a small butterfly exhibit awhile ago. I was replying to pathfinder but you got in first. I considered deleting it but figured if you could stretch your shot into a response to PF's shot then I could go that extra mile too. :lol4
