Missed the Shot


One of the lighthouses we visited was Yaquina Bay Light in Newport OR. More about that later but I wanted to share this picture I found from Andy and Angie a couple who live in Corvallis, OR. They didn't have an email I could write to to ask permission to post their photo as an illustration of what happens when I put my camera away. Please click on their names to visit their site.
Don and I were walking on a hiking trail as we left the lighthouse. As we walked, a rabbit, much like this one, hopped out on the path almost at my feet. She sat there for a moment completely still and then hopped off into the underbrush. It was like she was saying "OK, take a good look because I know you missed the shot and will be kicking yourself after I'm gone."
She was right.

Lol isn't that always the case...it's when you DON'T have your camera with you that all these great opportunities happen! xox
