If I had a dollar for every time I said to myself “I wish I had my camera” when I am out and about, I’d have a tidy little retirement fund all set up.

This morning is a perfect example… nobody around for as far as the eye can see, relatively unspoiled snow, the black path cutting through the lower left portion of the frame, trees holding just enough snowfall to create the contrast of light and dark, and a perfectly golden sunrise peeking through all of ths as I ride along the river in to work today.

I really don’t know why I don’t carry it with me more often, because the images I wanted to capture now exist only in my head…. and with a mind like a steel sieve they don’t last for very long.

ah well, one day I will learn and pack it in with my work clothes when I am commuting, or part of the wallet-phone-keys mantra I say every time I leave the house to make sure I didn’t forget the “essentials”.
