Sans Mountain Lion

dlplumer

So I drive 50 miles this morning into the Sonoran Desert to see the wildlife at the AZ Sonoran Desert Museum. I get to the mountain lion exhibit at the opening when the animals are alert and active. I take out my camera and lenses, I get ready to shoot, and there is no memory card in the camera :bad Left it in the computer. Have you ever done that? I did get a rain check however, and will be going back tomorrow morning.

In the mean time:







Not sharp but interesting. Just got my attention:



The Sonoran Desert is in full bloom:



Thanks for looking,

Dan

Good set and I've left my memory card home too. I've also gone out w/o my tripod and batteries. Fortunately these senior moments happened while I was shooting at the wetlands which are a short 15 minute drive from my house.

Thanks Harry. Wish I had wetlands near me. It's very hot and dry. 108 today, but it's a dry heat.
