"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

I can see why you stood around and hurt your foot.... Nice angle.

Russ- I like the repeating and contrasting diagonals in this image. From the perch to the line of the green foliage and the dark shadowy background. It works nice to add dynamic impact to the static egret that being white (and nicely exposed btw) stands out greatly. Nice image.
