The wildlife photos, oh he/she was lucky, right place at the right time. Just forget the hours spent sitting in snow, a swamp, on a tree limb. Plus having the right equipment preset in place for the right time.
I think the nature photographers we see show up frequently are nuts. Gluttons for punishment who go back time after time.
God bless ‘em, I sure love their work.

Men die with a sense of relief and grab the express elevator to hell.
Women die then argue it was unfair, and haunt around to appeal their case.

The bottle house is a hella deal at $430,000.
