The egret's strike, quicker than human reflex, snatches only water this time. The elegant mechanics of the bird's legs are drafted in a perfect Roman "X." But neither leverage nor its golden grasp can counter the thrust without this single splendid beat of carved alabaster wings.
Thank you
I love your way with words, Jeff. Thanks, and keep 'em coming!
Thank you

Much appreciated. Never too old to learn something new, although sometimes I wonder.
