I’ve been capturing moments my whole life, long before I ever owned a camera.
I thought about that as I watched this beautiful gadwall floating down a stream.
And I had a realization. We only have this moment, nothing else. Fleeting and precious…a moment of beauty and grace.
I realized the light would fade and the lovely duck would soon disappear.
So I took a breath and slowed my thoughts, and relished that one glorious moment.
Such a gift…
