Along the Way

On the fourth and final morning, I snuck away before sunrise to a nearby inlet in search of flamingos. Thanks to great tips from Charlie the Tuscany gardener, I found one. The water was still as glass. The flamingo was far off and behind a row of mangrove branches. Once I settled for letting the "clutter" of branches into my frame, I was surprised by a far more intriguing composition than I could ever have imagined. A great last morning. What a gift!
