Beauty in the Morning

I am so thankful I live in a beautiful area. Sure, we are rural. There are pastures and tobacco barns all over the place. The roads can be dangerous if you are not a defensive driver, and even then.

But, it is such a BEAUTIFUL area.

Just another reminder to always be ready to take the shot.

This sunrise was at an intersection and behind me. I didn't realize the beauty until I turned to check for traffic. Absolutely amazing!

As a photographer, I admit that getting "the shot" is not always easy. Sometimes you miss the shot, other times you are not prepared.

This morning, I almost missed the shot. I do not carry my big camera with me all the time. (There can be a major discussion with that, but not today.) However, I had my phone with me.

I took the shot.

I like to think I did not miss the shot.

What do you do when you see "the shot" and don't have your camera?

And don't get me wrong, I miss several. There were several other shots I could have captured this morning with the fog and the tobacco barns that were smoking through the valleys of the country on the way in to work.
