There was something about the quality of the light on the river yesterday afternoon (bright, a little smoky), and the stillness of the river where the egret was keeping watch, that made this feel like a Magritte sort of egret, like e was just magically floating a hair's breadth above the water.
@handmade_ghost Do these egrets have yellow feet? The ones around here do. So elegant.
@Zumbador This one has black feet, but we get snowy egrets with bright yellow feet (and often "knees") on this river as well. I love them. To me, they always look like some combination of ballerina and roller derby star.
@handmade_ghost Yes they're natty dressers!
