Comments - Beautiful scene of five white herons huddled together under a falling snow. They stand close to each other in a pond as large flakes drift down across the wintry gray sky, their feathers delicately embossed. The white birds create a striking contrast to the softly shaded sky and blue water. A lovely design, considered one of Shoson's best. A fantastic design.
