White Flame Rising
This is a striking image of a Great Egret (Ardea alba), captured in a pose that almost suggests surrender—as if the bird were saying, “Go ahead, take my picture.” But what appears to be resignation is, in truth, a fleeting moment frozen in time. The egret is not yielding—it’s gathering itself, preparing to rise. Wings lifted, body poised, it stands at the threshold between stillness and flight.
