Under the Shade
I hid myself under a tree with low branches and waited for this Grey Egret to come to his familiar shady spot late in the afternoon. After a while, I think, he did see me but was very patient while I completed a quick watercolor and clicked off several photographs. As I enjoyed his presence I thought of Ezekiel 17:23 - On the mountain heights of Israel I will plant it; it will produce branches and bear fruit and become a splendid cedar. Birds of every kind will nest in it; they will find shelter in the shade of its branches.
