Lost Kodak Moment

.

           a snap of a twig

           made by my careless footstep

           white tailed doe takes flight

But, the vision of its passing reminds their are better pictures to be taken on a future day. Snapping a picture of a doe in retreat may another day yield a picture of a doe advancing. The two pictures then may become come one. A masterpiece.
