[Evening]

I have been guilty of forgetting to smell the roses. It was brought home to me when I was Orca watching off the San Juan Islands near Vancouver Island. I don't think I ever saw them without having the camera up to my eye. I realize I'd missed most of what went on because I was so desperate to get a good shot and I had a limited view through the viewfinder at a point where I hoped I'd catch 'the shot'. I've tried to avoid going all out to get a brilliant shot in favour of actually observing something incredible but I suspect my son sent me this article because he has observed my click-happiness. Even the cats give me a withering look when they see the camera!
