Wings of Grace

Each Spring, up to 50 nesting pairs of great egrets gather at Kraft Azalea Garden in Central Florida, United States, to begin their nesting rituals. I was inspired to share the beauty of the great egrets with the world. I made countless trips to the location to capture the most beautiful moments. Their true beauty is best reflected in their natural living environment. I wanted to fully utilize their enchanting surroundings to better obtain unique compositions. And I wanted to choose an ideal angle to use the natural sunlight to capture their wings' crisp, clean, striking, and serene appearance. I carefully selected the camera positions and patiently waited for the best opportunities. After two spring seasons, I finally finished the series to display the beauty of great egrets in natural Florida.
