When things just do not seem to go right we usually just delete the pic .. right ?

So here we go ....

Bee ahhh finally I have you in my shutter sights... no no wait stay on top of the flower ohhh ok will try getting you uinderneath



Mooning me now that is just rude !!

So I decided maybe I should stick to what stays still .... ish

Hi FoG! I know how you feel; I keep trying to get quality shots of Chewy, but he won't stay still long enough!
Really like the Church Steeple and the Sunset is Awesome.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.

Now that I have picked myself up of the floor from laughing I must say I know exactly how you feel. I've been trying a few different things during the past couple of days without very much success, makes me feel good to know I'm not the only one, I'm just a chicken and delete the failures. Love the last two, hats off to anything that stays still.

I find that cat picture really interesting. It's out of focus, sure, but it looks like it was meant that way.

Cats will just not leave well enough alone, will they? I'm interested in pet-sized fly paper. If you find any, let me know. It seems the perfect way to balance the injustice of ubiquitous cat hair. Left turn. Blink, blink. Your second photos are not only "still" but lovely examples of finding the quiet, stillness that day's end offers. Lovely. (Wow...that was a sharp curve taken at high speeds).

Same here! The first two brutally sum up the greater part of my photographic attempts! Very funny! Success like the last two is the opiate that keep us all out there trying.
