Creek Running North

There’s no way to make this photo better. The light was low, the egret was moving fast, and the photographer was blurry. But I think the shot, for all its flaws, captures Egretta thula rather well: splayed primaries, crane grace, a hint of mane at nape of neck, and those feet!

That was my morning, anyway.

Heartfelt thanks to the reader who sent along Gary Nabhan’s book on tequila from my Amazon wish list. A more personal note of gratitude is on its way. And thanks as well to Stephanie after a long silence for surprising me, and perhaps you, with the post below. What a wonderful winter read!
