Okay. I know that this
Okay. I know that this has happened scores of times since I started this blog thing, but I meant to mention something after yesterday's photo outing and simply forgot. Two more bullets to the list:
6. I am really beginning to hate the way mid-day sun lights photos. I simply do not like the light. Yuck.
7. There is no worse feeling for a photographer than to be presented with that shot that is so fuckin' money it would make your week and then *poof* miss it. My to favorite subjects right now are Dragonflies and Robber Flies. They are both difficult to locate and capture in the spots I've been. I watched a robber fly capture a bee harvesting pollen, kill it, and land on some picturesque background floral to feed. It would have been a fabulous shot. I almost had it. the light was right, the angle was perfect, the subject matter was fantastic... insect behavior photography is something I especially dig. I didn't get it. That is a terrible, terrible feeling.
That's it. I just wanted to add that to the post from yesterday. I think we're going to the movies instead of taking a nap. Ugh. I'm sleepy.

That would have been a good shot or a series of shots as in National Geographic ... You could have added a little bit of commentary from stalking of the prey to the kill to devouring it :)
