A graceful snowy egret contemplates its reflection in the waters of San Diego harbor.
Gracefulness has been defined to be the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul. ~William Hazlitt
Graceful is the theme for the Weekly Photo Challenge.

Terri—you just take the most beautiful photos! And I love the idea of placing a quote right in it!
I know you talked about that once, and I’ve remembered the idea. But have I put it to use yet? Ha ha!

Did you use your new camera for these!! By the bye, it seems that quite a few of the responses are using images of birds and water fowl.

That’s an amazing capture. The egret seems to have things on its mind. 😀 Or just enjoying her reflection. I believe she has boyfriend troubles… 😀

Gorgeous photos, Terri. In the wetlands off Palo Alto, we have so very many species of birds, the egret and heron among them. It’s fascinating to just sit and watch these noble and graceful creatures. The wetlands themselves are magnificent under a full moon ~ a shutterbug’s delight 🙂 ♥
