Splash

The grace of the Great Egret is self-evident. Her white plumage and balletic steps represent the purity of spirit that expresses at the water’s edge. In this image, we reflect on our own expression and share in the baptismal sense of renewal that is her self-determined splash.

About Artist

Dave Stine

Dave is an evolving nature and wildlife photographer. Inspired both by the mystery and the beauty of our world, he has always been interested in what is concealed in an image as much as what is revealed. He uses diverse techniques to beg the questions of what, where and why. He experiences the concept of art as a shared conversation – never simply just question or answer but communion.
