Dumb Luck

playing hookey after a long hard storm at the local lake, looking for some cool foggy lake stuff. Minding my own business looking at the structure in front of me, painted the color as the sky here, when I turned to the water right in front of me is this huge bird. Thankfully I was in PMode, and managed to get a couple in focus shots.
All I could think was that Herb would have spotted this bird 300 yards away :)

What a great capture. I can never even find them in the viewfinder before they're gone.
