While hunting dragons and Monarchs on Sunday, I could not pass up the Egrets who were hunting the pools along the Kennebunk Bridle Path (though I don’t think they were hunting dragons and Monarchs…but it is at least possible 🙂 The afternoon light was well behind the Egrets, and the Egrets were well out in the marsh, making for somewhat difficult shots. Still, you have to try. I actually like the “molded in light” effect.
