Arrg, that always happens. So annoying. Nice haiku.

Yes, and up to this point I’d only seen her bright red mate. I was on the phone with Kevin at the time I saw her. I hung up on him, tore off to get the camera downstairs, and couldn’t believe she was gone when I shot back.

Such a familiar story. It happens to me when I work at home. I go to the kitchen to grab a coffee – see something beautiful outside, run to get the camera and it is goner. Often I leave the camera in the kitchen just in case.

I usually do that, but I had it downstairs to load to my computer. (Of course, I hadn’t done that either.)

Nice haiku. I’ve learned to accept that sort of occurrence; most of my good photos are accidents; when I see something I like, I don’t have my camera. I guess that’s why we have memories.

Thank you. When I ran my original blog back in 2007-2011, I posted many photos, but now I’m less inclined to do it. I just got a new camera, but being out and actually experiencing things without trying to “capture” them is more fun.

I’ll let you know when she stops rocking back and forth and muttering unintelligibly. Let’s just say she appreciated it!

Oh no! I didn’t mean to traumatize her.
