"more.egrets"
Sue's photo, more fractured and with elements of another Northern California marsh picture. I have tried to incorporate more of the wetlands aspect of a marsh preserve and also hint at the setting in both spring and winter tones - sort of a snapshot of the nation from the cold to warmer regions.
I saw a hint of daylight in the Manhattan building canyon as I walked south towards my train station Friday night.
Here are some of the birds for Sue's marsh.

Edith Piaff is smiling :)
Sorry I've run amok was out drinking Pabst.
I feel as though I'm looking out a window and though it's just one window, what I see through the individual panes is egret day, egret night.
Nice job.

"more.egrets" is elegant and beautiful in is simplicity and colors. I am trying to figure out what comforts me so in these little masterpieces, but all I can come up with is Delft Blue Tiles, which is more true of "red.wing.blackbird."
I love the grays and the more exuberant blues and the little touches of green. Everything is so understated, yet so visibly present and not at all simple.
You are striking a chord with me, John.
I suppose Neda's reference to Edith Piaff is the song "Je ne regrette rien."
This piece has so much tension in it, John. I feel as if I am looking at a film still from a thriller about egrets and their secrets. Or a murder is about to take place at the marsh...
"The Secret Life of Egrets", in which we find out egrets INVENTED the moimoi! Oh no, and I thought ladies did!
I like this piece and its tension a lot. Forgive my mememe outbursts.
John, I really like the way you used two images of the egret and gave each a different treatment...the little spots of back and white just really make the image. Nice collaboration :)
I forgot to say I enjoyed the info about the Cattle Egret. I did not know they follow fire. We get them here in the early spring along with the scissortails and hummingbirds. Soon...soon, they will be here. Another month I guess, maybe five weeks.
