Peaceful Reflection

This is one of my early images, and I was immediately drawn to the ripples and the reflection. There’s a painterly quality to it that I truly appreciate. I captured it in Georgia at a small, hidden pond tucked away across from our hotel. It was near dusk—quiet and serene, despite being on the edge of the city. Oh, and the subject? A great egret (Ardea alba), standing in perfect harmony with its surroundings.

"The image captures a great egret standing in a natural setting, exuding elegance with its long, slender neck and pristine white plumage. Its sharp yellow beak contrasts strikingly against its snowy feathers, poised in a moment of quiet observation. The egret’s black legs and feet blend subtly with the earthy tones of the ground, adding to the balance of the composition. Soft shadows and warm lighting highlight the graceful contours of its body, emphasizing the delicate curve of its neck. The background features blurred vegetation, suggesting a marshy or lakeside habitat, further reinforcing the tranquil and reflective mood of the scene." - Copilot

I haven't lived a perfect life. I have Egrets. But that's from a lifetime of taking chances, making decisions, and trying not to be frozen. The only thing that I can do with my Egrets is understand them.

You don't get old until you replace dreams with egrets.

An egret waits in the water with it's neck outstretched.
Bis vor einiger Zeit dachte man, dass der Silberreiher eine auf Lagunen spezialisierte Art sei. Ebenso war man der Meinung, es handelte sich um einen „tropischen Reiher“, der in Afrika oder Südwestasien überwintern müsse. Dabei halten die Vögel Schnee und Kälte sehr wohl aus. Jedoch wurden die Silberreiher wegen ihrer Federn verfolgt, um diese für die Damenmode (am Hut) zu verwenden. Seit sie nicht mehr verfolgt werden, konnten sie sich verbreiten und sind auch in Deutschland anzutreffen.

White Majesty in the Marsh

This elegant bird is a great egret, also known as the great white egret. I took this photograph some time ago while exploring the bayou at the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana. It may well be the first of these magnificent birds I captured, though since then, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph many more.

"This image captures the elegant presence of a great egret standing in a natural habitat of grass and dirt, with a softly blurred backdrop of tall vegetation. The egret, a striking white bird with a long neck and legs, holds a poised and observant stance, its yellow beak pointing forward as if surveying its surroundings. The photograph highlights the serene beauty of this wetland species, emphasizing its graceful posture and delicate features." - Copilot

Great Egret in Black and White

This is a Great Egret (Ardea alba) captured in striking black and white. The color version of this photograph is equally captivating, with water reflecting a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues—perhaps I'll share that one in the future. I took this image in Georgia a little over two years ago. I love how the water ripples outward in gentle circles from the bird and how its partial reflection adds a delicate touch to the scene.

"Though it mainly hunts while wading, the Great Egret occasionally swims to capture prey or hovers (somewhat laboriously) over the water and dips for fish." - allaboutbirds.org

If you enjoy black-and-white photography, I’ve created a dedicated category in my gallery just for these images. Feel free to explore!

"This black-and-white image captures the graceful presence of a great egret standing in shallow water. The bird's sleek body and elegant posture are mirrored by its reflection in the rippling water. The overall ambiance of the photograph is serene, with soft contrasts adding depth to the water and highlighting the egret's refined silhouette against its tranquil surroundings." - Copilot

Great Egret Is More Green Than I Knew

I guess I never looked too closely at the Great Egret photos I've taken or maybe the West Coast egrets aren't so green around the eyes.
