Recently the image stabilization feature quit working on my long time Canon 18-200mm lens so I got another used one. We went to Magnolia Cemetery to test it out and I was delighted to get to use it on some Wood Storks perched just off the road.
The tree was a classic southern specimen with Resurrection Fern and Spanish Moss.

Canon 18-200mm lens, replacement, used–first time out.
Great !! These show just how big those old Live Oaks are.
Sometimes I think they are called Wood Storks because they look like they’re carved from wood… with some of the bark left on!
