Photo of the day for 11/18/13: Taking Flight. This is another one I am excited about. I shot it a couple of weeks ago on a bike ride with S. at Coyote Hills. As we are nearing winter the light is pretty low already by the time to get there to ride in the afternoons. The light here was coming in from behind the hills and was low and bright on the other side of the egret. If you look closely you can see water drops falling from the bird's feet. I really love egrets a lot and was happy to get a shot like this of one.
