Crying Inside
I'm crying inside right now.
Some of you may know of my part time hobby of taking photographs...well, I missed the shot of a lifetime just now. cry
Anyways, I was just out taking some pictures of nature in a little river bed after I was done taking down there I started the small climb to get back to my truck, as I get up to the level where it's at I come about 6 inches from stepping on a beautiful 4 and a half foot long sidewinder.
I pull out my camera and rush to turn it on so I can get a nice macro shot of it's face (while trying not to get bitten) and I'm fumbling around with the lens cap because my hands are shaking.
It startled the crap out of me because I wasn't expecting it, but I had to get that shot. By the time I get the camera ready the snake was gone into hiding and I only got a couple blurry photos of the tail end of it because I had the camera set to macro and I was too far away. cry
