Great White Egret and Mayfly
Saturday, March 1st, 2008
Great White Egret at Andy Brown Jr. Park, Coppell, Texas. Early morning melting frost, still slightly foggy, enough sun to make the water and dew in the grass sparkle, with a Mayfly appearing at exactly the right moment!
The photo was digitally changed to black and white and the contrast was clarified.

During the Christmas season the Oak leaves on the tree in our front yard were bright orange-red, and have only dropped during the past two days, whereas other years they would have fallen mid-December. While raking yesterday, the proudest of all begged for portraits!
