Great Egret in Woodland Shadows

The mist-like veil is created by shooting wide open through foreground foliage, not by actual fog.

Today’s weekend waterbird is a great egret. It is not a mediocre egret, and it is also not a duck.

The #WednesdayWaterbird is #NotADuck: it is a great white egret… not quite as scary as a great white shark, but does look like it uses Daz - which is quite scary.
