Wordless Wednesday: The Egret Visit




We really wanted to put our outdoor Christmas lights up but we received an unexpected visitor... nice egret! So, we'll wait til he leaves. How about you? Are your decorations and lights up?

Of course, this children's book came to my mind:

For ages 8 and up


Poems and photographs take readers up close to observe the daily life of the extraordinary Great Egret. A Great Egret rarely rests. This majestic bird, with its big feet, even bigger beak, and breathtaking lacy wings, is a treat to watch. With his camera, photographer Jason Stemple takes us close to these magnificent creatures to witness their physical - and quirky - beauty as well as their daily habits and behavior - soaring, hunting, preening, nesting - which most of us never get a chance to see. Meanwhile, celebrated poet Jane Yolen offers her keen observations in carefully-crafted poetry that is at once whimsical, thoughtful, and thought provoking. Interesting facts about the bird accompany each poem.
