  1. The visual visitations of egrets, they never come terribly close but for few sterling encounters, are such a quickening for me. They get me right in the appreciative center. I've no photo of a recent splendid sighting and words will fall short too, but perhaps I'll scribble up a description of a beauty I recently encountered.
