It's this -- everything of beauty we see out there time and again is a "gift." Sure, we can do certain things, make certain choices, that up the ante to improve our chances, but all in all, it's up to God, or whatever you call that ultimate mystery. It comes from somewhere beyond our control of what we shall be shown on any particular day. And what we see and discover is pure gift, pure joy. You grabbed more than your camera that day, you grabbed your element of surprise. That's a pretty good medicine to be taking right now. I'll be looking for a dose myself this afternoon. -Dave Harwood
