Photos of random items. Some reflecting a mood I am in, others for the shear joy of it. Challenge and persistence in finding that perfect shot, without manipulating the situation is key for me. No lessons here, I don't have the knowledge to teach.
Before You look at these pictures, I must tell a story. I was babysitting for my daughter and decided to take Lewis across the street to the park. While there I observed two baby hawks in a secluded area, I moved closer to watch them. Lew wouldn't stay around so I took him home, asked the older kids to watch him a minute while I took pictures. I went back and was innocently observing these 2 young beautiful birds, admiring them. Mama came from across the street on the other side screaming at me. She Landed on a lamp post. I being who I am, ignored her warning and proceeded to take pictures of her and her babies one of which was devouring a squirrel? As I finished I turned around and walked away toward my daughter's home. Suddenly I was slammed from behind and knocked to the ground. Scared the holy livin' shit outa me. Mama hawk was pissed, she had attacked me. I have a puncture wound tear in my head and a smaller wound as well. I went into my daughter's home and frightened her 2 older kids by exclaiming I had been attacked. Thankfully Reb and Noah pulled up about then and I was calmed out of my panic. Anastasia asked me if it was worth it. I think it was, what do you think. The last picture is just after the attack, you can see how smug she looks.
