Default What you have that others are jealous of?

There are so many things that I would love to have on my own doorstep to photograph everyday, yet to do it would be a costly trip and lots of planning. Likewise, I have things that I take for granted that you would wish for.

Example:
20110130-IMG_4607

Taking my son for a morning walk/ride, seeing zebra on the road is not at all an uncommon site.

What are some examples of things that you have easily in your reach that you know others could really envy?

A steady paycheck. Marketable skills that are in demand. The local sports team is the best damn (American) Football team on the planet.

I'm jealous that others have time to devote to photography.

I'm not sure, but to reverse it, when I was in Australia, it was incredible to walk out my front door and see animals in the yard that I had previously only seen in a zoo. In fact, that's where I got serious about photography for the first time.
