I woke up early yesterday to a mist covered lake. I was sitting drinking coffee when a paddle boat came drifting out of the mist – nobody on board. I guess it had become detached from its mooring. So I grabbed a couple of cameras (it’s easier than changing lenses) and went down to the dock. The sun was just coming up and the light was changing very quickly. To my horror one of the cameras had no battery (it was charging) and the other one had no memory card (I’d taken it out for some reason). So a quick dash back to the house to get the missing battery. I took a few pictures and a little while later started to edit them.

To my surprise I came across the picture below. I hadn’t even seen the heron fly by. It’s not much of a picture technically: too much noise; blurry. Maybe I should just make it even more blurry – to make it seem like I meant it to be like that: “Yes, I was going for the impressionist/pointillist look here”. Maybe not.
