| a bobcat just walked through the middle of our back yard, and I didn't have a card in my camera. By the time a run upstairs and yanked it out of the card reader, the cat was already heading into the woods. DANG! Teach me to leave the card in the reader instead of my camera (like I haven't alreday shown up at a kazillion soccer games with no card because it's in the reader instead of my camera...) |

Throw a nice juicy chicken out there real quick - he'll come back.*
*Don't do this if you have children or pets.

I've missed shots too before by not having the camera ready. Now whenever I'm home, the camera is on the tripod with the Bigma attached to it, fully charged battery, and a 2 gb CF card.
Now if something interesting would come visit me......I'm waiting......and waiting.........and waiting. |

A couple of years ago I was guiding a downstater friend fishing. We're cruising down a two-track and I say "Hey, maybe we'll see a bear." No more than 2 minutes later ... we see a bear! We get to where he crossed and my friend can't see it in the woods (the big ol' things disappear!) so I tell him to run after it. He gave me the goofiest look I've seen in a while :)

We were on the trail of Mr Trout. Besides, city slicker wasn't getting out anywhere near Mr Bear. I did explain that the bear was far more afraid of him than he was afraid of the bear, his look begged to debate the point.

I spotted a wasp nest today. It was in plain view, about four feet off the ground, about the size of a volleyball. There were a couple of wasps coming and going. I had my camera.
Can you see it coming?
I got to within about six feet of the nest...moving slowly, framing the shot as I went.
I was about to start shooting when...bang...they're on me! I found myself in a cloud of the buggers. I made it away with six or seven stings to the head and couple on my arms.
I guess sometimes being stupid trumps being ready!
Lesson learned...until next time :) |

Now THAT is nuts !! Wasps are mean and are not afraid of people. I would much rather track a bear thank you. Glad to see you can still post - means you didnt have a fatal allergic reaction |

My dad once told me that if your roll your tongue back towards the roof of your mouth... the wasps won't sting you.
HE WAS WRONG... but it really does muffle all the screaming... hehehehe :O)
Ray
Oh yeah... he also told me that if I rushed up real quick on a skunk and lifted the lil bugger up by the tail that he couldn't spray me...
GUESS I WAS JUST TOO SLOW....
