Up Close With A Snowy Egret

In a prose poem I wrote about nine years ago, I included the line, "…after all, if I could say with words what I show in a photograph, I would be more of a writer and less of a photographer…" 

I can't say much about these photos of a Snowy Egret that adds anything other than these egrets rarely let me get this close when I am photographing them. Their intense focus and concentration when hunting for something to eat is remarkable:

This set of photos was taken on the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River at the weir just upstream from the first pedestrian bridge south of the Roosevelt Park trailhead on Friday, September 13, 2013.
