Great Egret Portrait with Flowers

Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge - Lipsec, Delaware
September 6th, 2021
As I came upon this field of Joe-Pye weed in bloom in the Fall season, I saw this Great Egret standing on the opposite side, just into the water of the Bombay Hook pool. I was able to grab this capture as the bird looked backwards across its body, adding interest to the shot. I love the contrast of the beautiful colors of the pinkish-red Joe-Pye and the blue colors of the water beyond the bird.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
