I'd forgotten - how blue an exquisitely blue sky can be. How the water sparkles in sunlight. How the sun feels.

I'd forgotten - what it's like to be without my many winter layers.

I walked with my eyes and face turned to the sky. Maybe searching..maybe seeking..maybe looking for someone or something?

Interrupted by the sudden bark of my dog....followed by a whoosh of great wings. Out of nowhere. The sound and the fury.

Quickly - I raised my camera. To look. To see. I so wanted to capture this moment - perfectly.

The great white bird? She's softly out of focus.

Did I miss the shot? Well - I'll let you tell me...
