Day 247 - a Year by the Sea

September 5, 2007 by OrientSee.

In the background is the main yard for the Blue Line on the T. That’s why all the wires and fences. In the foreground is a Great Egret in flight. It can look awkward sometimes when flying. They are large birds and do not turn on a dime like a pigeon or soar with the air currents like a sea gull nor do they speed along like a swallow. These birds do sail before the breeze with the elegance of a clipper ship with all canvas aloft. To see a Great Egret in flight like this is to be humbled by our own stumble footed lack of grace.

Ciao!
