The Quiet Magic of Egrets & Herons I've Come to Know and Cherish

by Dennis Augustine

I’m always grateful for the calm beauty of the egrets and herons along the Los Gatos Creek Trail—just a short bike ride from home.

Sometimes they let me get close… other times they sense me coming and take flight, and I’m ready with my camera to catch that magic moment.

“The heron is nature’s meditation.”

“A flight of herons is a quiet poem across the sky.”

White egrets, a green heron, and a black-crowned night heron—all quiet teachers of patience, presence, and grace.

Enjoy the photos.
