Tranquil Vista was a selected Finalist in the Biannual - Stirling Art Awards Exhibition, 2023
 
A tranquil view often seen along the Peel Estuarine system.
Seen on a morning walk, a softly feathered white egret was perched upon the decaying wood of an old tree stump, with a gorgeous backdrop of soft blue sky and water.
I loved how the morning sun lit up the birds white feathers revealing many more colours than just pure white. 
The egret symbolises Diversity, Adaptation, and Balance and has a close-knit relationship with the three elements of Water, Air, and Earth.
