What Brought About this Painting?

I've been painting some blue heron pictures which are such beautiful birds but wanted to have a change of pace, hence, a white egret. The egrets are a little smaller than the great blue herons. The big difference in them is the color of the legs. Egrets have black legs and the blue herons have lighter colored legs. Blue herons may also have frillier feathering on their breasts and slightly thicker beaks.

When I lived at Tanyard in Louisa, I had a pond in my back yard. I've told stories about it before but I remember out of the corner of my eye, catching a glimpse of a very large object going by my back windows. Sure enough, looking over at the koi pond, there would be an egret looking for dinner. 

My pond did not have shallow places or anywhere for the egret to stand other than on top of the rocks. Very, very rarely would I find any fish remains in the yard - and that may not have been because of an egret...But they were so fascinating to watch and such elegant birds, strolling through the garden around the koi pond.
