A monochromatic flight of two egrets - such subtle beauty and an amazing feat to witness. The wonder of our natural world is so obvious and still so elusive. Though this photograph appears to represent 'stop action', we know that their flight continued...and so it did.

There are times when others will try to appease with a comment similar to 'there will be another opportunity' or 'your time will come'...but ultimately, every moment in time is unique and becomes history immediately thereafter. Though history has been known to 'repeat itself' (and certainly, there are lessons to be learned), there really is just one opportunity for that unique moment...for that set of circumstances, for that decision, for that vision. Though not always pleasurable nor discounting the need for future planning, carpe diem/'seize the day' is valued advise! 7th Ave N & Gulf of Mexico, Naples, FL
