At day's end the egret heads for the rookery. Tomorrow he will be out bright and early searching for tasty rodents, amphibians and fish.
You can find more skies from around the world at SkyWatch Friday, hosted for us by Klaus, Sandy, Wren and Sylvia.

Beautiful sunset too!!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
What a beautiful sky! My SWF is of egrets too (in a plain old blue sky)...I like yours better.
Just beautiful! I always love the birds in flight with a pretty and colorful sky. Great capture.
How serene and lovely! Wow, you could just melt into that photo...
Just splendid, Martha. :-)
What a joy it must be to know, that there's a 'home'. Wonderful picture indeed, perfect the title as well. Please have a good Friday you all.

Lovely photo and words, Martha. I am usually scrambling for my camera when a bird goes by and I miss the whole thing AND the photo, too!
that is just the most splendid color.
Wonderful. Good work, Martha, to get the bird on the wing.

Last week we had a screaching Brahminy kite looking for a place to nest in our high rise building. I tried to capture her photograph but she looked vicious and scary with her sharp beak and wild eyes! It's really hard to capture birds in the sky but when you do, the picture is amazing.
Beautiful catch!
PS They predict snow on my birthday next week. Hope they are right!
Evocative photo. Great color.
The solitary bird against that sky is stunning!
Floating on the wind, with a beautiful background - it suits the idea that he's heading home.
Nice soft sky to backdrop the egret.
Looks like he's flying off into the sunset!
Great shot of the egret in the pastel shades.
it's beautiful, poetic.
Very nice & cool!
Happy SWF! =)
Beautiful sky. Great capture!

Beautiful silhouette photo - love the colour of the sky.
Such a pretty site against the sky! The colors are like yummy bowls of sherbet.
The sky is such pretty shades of apricot.
what a beautifully composed photo, the colours in the sky are so beautiful too
Beautiful shot! Lovely colours
Gorgeous! The egret flying home really makes the photo!!!
This is such a lovely sky and the egret makes it even more special.
