A reddish egret stands watch atop the tallest of a cluster of weathered pilings, warm morning light catching the grain of the old wood. Behind it, a great white cloud rises into a soft blue sky, and the low coastal horizon stretches out beneath.
Developed in the studio with a fine, film-like texture, the image carries the feeling of a remembered morning on the coast. The egret, small against the sky yet unmistakably in charge of its post, brings a sense of calm vigilance to the start of the day.
