Suspended Animation

Great egrets are a fairly common bird in this area, therefore we often tend to overlook them.
But in reality they are graceful and elegant birds.
Captured here in early morning sunlight this egret looks quite lovely.
But what I found most interesting was how the bird was literally suspended in mid air.
Just a slight tilt of it’s wings and a light breeze was all that was needed to keep it aloft and virtually motionless.

Suspended animation, a state of bliss.
Can’t keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I”

  18. Great Shot of the Great Egret! Beautiful! It’s so nice to see the egret up close we have a few of them here but I’m always looking at them far away. They are so delicate up close.:+) I like the Pink Floyd quote as well. :+)

    • Wow Thanks a million for stopping in and so glad you enjoyed those egret photos. We are fortunate that we often have close views of these types of birds, and you are right they do appear quite delicate.
      Glad you liked the PF quote too. 🙂
