The One That Got Away

Missed a great opportunity as I was traveling early this morning. A doe was standing very near the interstate I was driving, calmly chewing a mouthful of something. She faced away from me, and in the early morning misty haze, her dark body was a stark contrast to all the grayness before me.

I slowed down and reached for my camera, preparing to pull off the road to capture the moment. Darn! Camera wasn’t there! I had left too quickly and had forgotten it…and the moment was gone forever except in my memory.

Lesson learned…don’t leave home without it!
