Description
With backlit wings illuminated by the afternoon sun, a great egret (Ardea alba) takes flight towards a feeding area over calm waters near San Francisco Bay.
This majestic bird is seen with its neck elongated as it gains altitude before folding it close to its body in typical egret fashion while flying.
Egrets were hunted almost to extinction for their feathers in the 19th century. Thanks to conservation efforts, these magnificent birds are plentiful once again, and can be seen in wetlands throughout North America and southern Europe.
The more I study nature, the more I realize how it truly is a reflection of a loving Creator demonstrated through the unparalleled beauty of intelligent design.
"Adonai, how countless are Your works! In wisdom You made them all --
the earth is full of Your creatures." (Psalm 104:24, Tree of Life Version -TLV)
Artwork notes::
This same great egret is also featured in my other photos, "The Chase", "Simple Elegance" and "Great Egret Taking Flight". More photos of these majestic birds are in my egret album. Please check back periodically as additional photos are added from time to time.
This wildlife portrait would look absolutely stunning as a metal print or canvas print, two of several ordering options available above. It would make a dramatic statement and an inspiring image on a special wall in your home, office or business.
All artwork including this image comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee through Fine Art America / Pixels. World-wide shipping is available.
Thank you very much for your visit and support. God bless you, have a fabulous day and a terrific forever!
Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ ב ס " ד ] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist and photographer of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".
