Great Egret, Reflections

Reflections

Taken along the Cano Negro waterway in northern Costa Rica, this image captures a Great Egret in a moment of quiet grace. With each deliberate step through the mirror-still water, its elegant form is perfectly echoed below. The dusky reflection of the sky wraps the scene in soft light, blurring the line between bird and world. It’s a fleeting moment of symmetry—poised, peaceful, and profoundly still.
