The Egret
by BJ Niktabe (Age: 50)
copyright 05-10-2006


Age Rating: 1 to 127

  The Egret
Picture Credits:

She wades through the water slowly, silently,
trying not to disturb the peace and tranquility.
She tilts her head to one side and takes another step.
Ah, a fish, swimming unaware, closer, closer still...
She thrusts her head into the water and seizes the moment.
Her head tilts back as the fish disappears down her long slim throat.
She spreads her wings and in an instant, she's off,
soaring gracefully, seeming to float.

And so the egret flies...

I agree with David. I wonder if aliens call us IT? Beautiful imagery here. Beautiful portrait of nature.

Did you know the crane is the Japanese bird of peace?

I have always wanted to do a piece on the crane. Now you have inspired me, but I don't know when I'll get around to it.

Thanks for the write and the inspiration.

HE, SHE, what's the difference! This is a beautiful picture of a moment in time, and a very peaceful scene.

Why is it a she? Couldn't it be a he? Why did you personalize the bird, which is most likely unaware that you are watching IT, as IT slowly does what IT is supposed to do? Get IT now? Don't get mad at me, Beatrice! I'm just being a Bully! :) I think you caught as beautiful snap shot of a moment in simplicity, a moment when nature shows us how it mastered the art of Natural Selection and ultimate design. Great imagery and descriptive abilities!
