Egrets of the Sacred Grove by Robert Bateman

Egrets of the Sacred Grove by Robert Bateman available from Prickly Pear Galleries.

 

"I was told of a sacred grove of trees in a village near the spiritual center of Ubud in Bali. We arrived just before dusk, when hundreds, if not thousands, of birds were restlessly rearranging their roosting positions. Most of the birds were three species of egrets. As they rose and whirled through the air, they reminded me of spirits - of the essence of birds." - Robert Bateman.
