I rarely leave home without my camera, tucked in my purse or pocket. However the other day when Don and I were on our way to town, I noticed the camera had a low battery, so I plugged it in to charge while we were away.
It was one of those, "What can possibly go wrong?" moments. Don always jokes that the one time I'll leave my camera at home, we'll see Bigfoot or something.
Well, I left my camera at home ... and we saw Bigfoot. Sort of.
We were driving along a beautiful stretch of river and passed a small sandbar. An antlered bull elk was on the sandbar, drinking from the river. The dappled sunlit forest was behind him and the sparkling river was before him. It was one of the most visually stunning images I've seen in years.

And. I. Didn't. Have. My. Camera. With. Me.
Arrrggghhh. I've been kicking myself ever since. It would have been a magnificent shot.
Cue the obsessive carrying of my camera with me everywhere I go from now on.
