Kingfisher at Hoan Kiem Reed Edge Twilight

by Curtis Figueroa

Cool indigo light washes the reed edge along the Hoan Kiem game trail as a kingfisher perches on a bent stalk. The bird's electric blue back contrasts with the fading gray-green of the dry season grasses. Scuff marks and faint indentations in the damp earth near the water's edge suggest recent movement through the mud. Leaves skitter across the surface of the water, caught in a sudden gust that ripples the dark reflection. The sky above holds a uniform slate tone, devoid of direct sun but bright enough to reveal the texture of the bird's feathers. One droplet rests on the tip of a nearby reed, trembling slightly before falling into the shadowed water below.
