We enjoyed a magnificent morning watching the elegant foraging maneuvers of the Snowy Egrets.
One of the highlights of our visit to Orlando Wetlands!
The water was a perfect, beautiful deep blue!
The temperature was heavenly! ☀️
Non-stop grace in action! . . . .
. . . But every once in a while the Snowy ballerina needs to pause for a moment’s rest.
Those are beautiful images of the Egret.

Ah, the Snowy—so splendid, so bright! ❄️ A ballerina draped in morning light 💃☀️
She pirouettes softly on rippling hue 🌊 Chasing her breakfast with elegant cue 🍤
Her plumes proclaim haute-couture grace 👑 Runway of wetlands, her natural place 💅
Each splash a sonnet, each stride a refrain 🎶 A feathery poet of marsh and plain ✍️
But even divas must gently repose 😴 To fluff their tutus and powder their toes 💐👠
Encore, dear Snowy, your show’s divine! 🎭 You turn pond water to sparkling wine 🍾💙

These are beautiful photos of the gorgeous egret. It is not easy photographing white birds especially in sunshine, but your photos capture a lot of detail. Lovely!

As you can’t have snow on display there, snowy is an appropriate replacement.
