The Moon’s Light

Black and White Photograph of a Snowy Egret by Robert David Atkinson. 

"In the tranquil embrace of the moonlit night, the Snowy Egret stood poised by the water’s edge, its silhouette outlined against the moon’s silver glow above. With each movement of its slender beak, the Egret’s feathers caught the moonlight, reflecting it across its pristine plumage. The moon, a lantern in the night sky, bathed the Egret in its radiance, casting a soft luminosity upon the scene. Each stroke of preening seemed to be guided by the ethereal light, illuminating the Egret’s graceful form as it tended to its feathers with unwavering precision. Light and shadow danced together in this interplay between Moon and Egret, creating a timeless tableau of beauty under the watchful gaze of the night’s celestial guardian." – RDA
