Re: Always take your camera

The other evening, my wife and I decided to take an ATV ride. We live on the edge of the wilderness, so taking a half hour ride at sunset is a common thing.

We get up to the big hill behind the house, and a full moon is coming up. It is rising between two peaks that look like a rifle sight, and their peaks are exactly the width of the full moon. The cliffs are actually in Zion National Park area. It is an outstanding sight.

We sat in awe, taking mental pictures, and taking turns slapping each other for our forgetfulness. I now have to calculate the next moonrise that coincides with sunset, and try to be in the right spot again at the right time.

It would have been so easy to have brought a camera.

Steve,

That is one of the reasons why my set of Olympus OM-4T cameras + 12 lenses + motor drive, etc., sits in my closet. I carry a Canon SD 800 digital camera in my pocket at all times, even when going shopping for groceries.
