The Last Egret

The Causeway between Sacramento and Woodtucky is under about 8 feet of water right now due to some fairly heavy rains last week.

The easternmost road of the town - the final frontier if you will - by this time next year will no longer be the edge of town.

Another mile or so of the habitat for the Snowy Egret will disappear forever.

I wish the gentle white bird in the center of this depressing scene a safe landing.

Side note - why do all new construction of office buildings and strip malls these days have these "gun turret" tower things? Are we feeling so insecure as a country that we need to see "strong" fortress-like buildings around us?
