Living Presence
The living things we meet along the way.
Adorned Watcher Black-and-white image of a red-shouldered hawk perched on a berry-covered tree branch, looking over its shoulder against a pale sky.
Stark Stoicism A white ibis stands on exposed cypress tree roots in low light, its red bill and legs illuminated against a dark, shadowed background.
Quiet Elegance A great egret stands on a fallen log over still water, lowering its long neck toward its reflection. Soft foliage and dark water create a muted, natural setting.
Softly Aloft A female mallard flies low over calm water at sunset, her wings extended and backlit by warm light reflecting off the surface.
Fluid Alighting A great egret descends toward still water with its wings spread and legs extended, suspended just above the smooth blue surface.
Leading Lady A low angle photograph of a female mallard swimming toward the camera across calm water, her reflection visible below, while a male mallard follows softly out of focus behind her.
Momentary Ornament Black and white image of an eastern amberwing dragonfly resting on a floating waterlily bud in still water, its delicate wings and reflection visible against a smooth, dark surface.
Static Poetry A blue dasher dragonfly rests on the tip of a waterlily bud, its wings spread evenly, with a softly blurred purple blossom in the background.
Momentum in Isolation A brown pelican tightly banks with its wings fully extended, shown in black and white against a softly blurred background.
Grace and Precision A great egret strikes into shallow water at sunset, wings lifted and droplets splashing around its curved neck and yellow bill.
Embered Stillness A heron stands in silhouette on a wooden dock at sunset, its profile outlined against a vivid orange and red sky above dark water.
Synchronous Flow A pair of snowy egrets fly in parallel over duckweed-covered water, their wings extended and dark shadows cast beneath them.
Solitary Resolve An anhinga perches atop a tall, weathered tree trunk, shown in black and white against a pale, empty sky.
Lightest Touch A mute swan preens its feathers in a close high key black-and-white portrait, its bill nestled gently within soft white plumage.
