Accidental Timing

I’ve used this photo as the background for various lines and captions. It receives lots of compliments from those who think it’s a cool shot. So I feel like I must confess, the picture wasn’t planned. I was riding my Sportster with my camera dangling by its strap from the left handlebar. If I saw an image I wanted to capture, I simply scooped it up and shot. In this case, I got lucky. I aimed where I thought my shadow was and clicked.

The result? A different perspective.

The lesson? Always have your camera nearby. You never know what memory you’ll manage to save.

One for the Moms…

Mother’s Day is Sunday!

I hope your day is filled with loving memories of Mom, and/or the chance to make new memories with your mother or your own kids.

Mom still enjoys it today and maybe you will too-

Have a Happy Mother’s Day!
