I worked most of Sunday so it was 6 pm before I laced the boots and headed west... up to my Wood's Quarry.
Half way there I noticed a gentleman poised gingerly over his digital SLR. I continued on, remembering what it felt like on Friday evening when Mark allowed me to talk him into a long hike on an unfamiliar path. Yes, it's getting dark earlier these days!
(Mental note; Add headlamp to the backpack)
On the way down I paused to ask the same guy, who hadn't moved more that 2 feet, what his subject matter was.
The sky! My favorite too! :)
We compared pictures for a few minutes. ..Him with his lenses and bodies, me with my camera phone. A little of my dignity left me, right then and there!
Then I noticed movement on the trail behind me. A young coyote was following at a distance. Perhaps also interested in the deer that had been grazing in the field in front of us.
I willingly let time and daylight escape me and spent the next 20 minutes enjoying a pretty special place.... Critters, sunset and mountains. And as it turns out, I won some dignity back when my coyote videos won the admiration of my new photographer friend!
