My first thought was that I wouldn't be able to participate this week because I just don't feel up to looking for photo ops right now and finding and capturing "A moment" requires some work and some luck; but, then I remembered the walk I took Monday evening before I fell ill and realized that there were a couple of moments that I had recorded.
The first one was a moment that I impulsively snapped and when I walked just a little farther to try another angle, I realized that the moment had passed and hoped the one I snapped was a good one. I think it was:
Two more of the moments while I was out there that day involved birds. I loved the first one because he had his bill open and I can almost hear the loud quacking that accompanies a duck flyover.
And the second was the quiet red-winged blackbird presenting a perfect silhouette in the fading light.
All in all, I loved those moments as well as many others that I encountered on that chilly walk. I'm grateful to Beth and her You Capture that I've become aware of moments like these and that I catch pictures that I wouldn't otherwise have caught even when I'm not out "on assignment".There are lots more "moments" to see at Beth's Ishouldbefoldinglaundry. Visit. You won't regret it!
Oh lord I feel for you- I got put on the clear liquid diet to prepare for a not so fun procedure and it was pure torture. I never wanted ice cream more in my life. I also captured a bird for my capture this week!

Love the on the water. Beautiful. I, too, am grateful for these assignments. They make me think about the pictures I take and make me use the camera more often.
