Great White Egret and Frangipani

One morning, I was lucky to see an egret fly high over a Frangipani tree near our 3rd-floor deck. Their bright facial colors and long feathers are spectacular during the breeding season. The Frangipani Hornworm caterpillar, which feeds on the tree, is a good 6" long and has spectacular markings. Many were munching leaves on a Frangipani tree at West Martello Garden one Spring day, inspiring their inclusion.

Nature prints of the leaves and blossoms are complemented by colored pencil illustrations of the branches, caterpillar, Egret, and one of its feathers.
