A Snowy Egret wades in the shallow waters of Florida Bay, Key Largo. The descending sun creates a shimmering mercurial look to the water like satin or taffeta. The egret is in soft end of day light but its yellow lore is still visible and the remains of its breeding scene and setting very soft and serene.
