Into the Sunrise

Our son Greg just called to let me know that, as a part of an art exhibit he had organized in one of the office buildings he manages in San Francisco, he raffled off a framed 16x20 print of this image, and it netted three 55-gallon drums full of toys, which will be distributed to kids who might not otherwise get any toys for Christmas. Each person had to contribute a toy to enter the raffle. That makes me even happier than the kids who will be getting those toys this Christmas.

I first posted this image nearly three years ago, and it's been one of the most viewed images I've ever posted to Flickr. I decided to post it again because I wanted to tell everyone about the raffle, especially since it is going to make a bunch of kids a bit happier this Christmas. This is a composite of two images: I photographed the egret against a gray mud flat in the Corte Madera, CA marsh and, since the egret was strongly back lit, it was a perfect candidate for placement against this brilliant sunrise.

Actually, I took this shot not so much for the canvasback duck as for the brilliant colors reflected in the waters of the Corte Madera, CA marsh.

If This is what they mean by Global Warming, bring it on!

I put together this composite for the Make it Interesting Challenge Group. The target image of the penguins was provided by pareeerica, and the tropical scene is a shot I took from the deck of a home our entire family had rented for a week in Hanalei Bay, Kauai.

I shot this through our bedroom window, so it's not as sharp as it could be. There were a whole flock of robins feasting on these holly berries yesterday.
