But then when I got home I ran in the house and grabbed my camera. When I got back outside, the birds were a little farther away, but I was still able to get a few pictures. So I didn't lose out completely. I was lucky this time. I think I need to start carrying my camera with me again. I don't want to miss any more opportunities.
I remember a few years ago when I used to listen to the radio a lot while on my way back and forth to work, there used to be routine commercials for plays in Toronto. I don't usually care much for that kind of thing, but there were a few that I really thought would be good.
I remember thinking that I would wait and hope they would come a little closer to my home in Detroit. Well, that never happened. Later I felt like I could have kicked myself for passing up these opportunities. It wouldn't have taken long to go there and back, especially now that I know where to get flights to Toronto.
If only I had thought things through back then. I could have fond memories of those plays that I'll now never get to see. I live a little farther away now, so I don't hear the same radio commercials. But there is still the internet. The place must have a website. Maybe I'll take a look. Wouldn't that be fun to just pick up and go?
I even have a new story up over at Rat Tales. It's been hard to write anything for my fiction site for awhile, but I finally have something for you. It's actually an older story of mine that I've revived. It's called Jack And The Magic Stick. It's a fairy tale of some sorts. You'd have to read it to see what I mean. I like it.
I hope to start catching up with some of my other blog stuff now that I can. I always miss this stuff when I'm gone for a few days.
It is a nice return with the accompany of a big bird.
ReplyDeleteHave camera, will travel.
Nice catch on the bird. When I lived in A2 some friends were always going to Toronto for plays.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of the bird in flight, Ratty!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any plays for quite a few years now.
The vultures catch the wind close to me in the evening, sometimes 30-40 of them together.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs, magic views. I am greeting
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see things like that--but you only see them when the camera is not around! Hahaha! Good catch though!
ReplyDeletenice capture of the big bird in flight, wish I can fly to toronto too :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of capturing them in flight.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures |Ratty, you are very lucky to live somewhere where you get to see such a great variety of wildlife first hand.
ReplyDeleteHello! I agree with these comments...Well done!
ReplyDeleteMissed opportunities create a hunger for new adventures, so it all works out in the end. Where you live presently suits you well!
ReplyDeletelove your pictures..the turkey vultures are a sup rising sight...we had tons of them one time in our yard....like 30..crazy really..they never came back.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about carrying your camera. I seldom leave it behind but, of course, when I do, that's when I miss the shot of a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteMy computer crashed last week...it was less than a year old but it was a hard disc failure so I ended up buying a new one. I lost all my India photos, sad to say, heartbreaking for me. I am really devastated.
Also, my internet plug in aparatus is failing me. It's hard getting online or posting a blog...total frustration for me, at this point. I'm going tomorrow to their one store in Jaipur to see if there is any solution.
It's always nice to have a clear blue sky when you see those birds. Hope all is well with you these days. I'm trying to catch up on blogs. Been way behind. Take care Ratty.
