Motivation
Playing around in my archived photos this morning, I came across this shot of a 12 point (Royal) Red stag taken back in October of 2022 while visiting Scotland. Seeing him and spending just a few minutes in his presence was the best wildlife encounter of the entire trip, and one of the best thus far of my life.
It may sound stupid to some, but when you research, plan, travel, pay and pray to just see a species…and then you stand on a small knoll in the Scottish Highlands and are blessed with a photo session with magnificence...priceless! It is these times that I dream about while sitting awake in my chair watching crap TV.
Two thoughts on this encounter:
A wise wildlife photographer once shares with me “If you want National Geographic type photos, you have to go where National Geographic goes!”
A quote I recently shared on Facebook that read “God is in control, but He doesn’t expect you to lean on a shovel and pray for a hole.”
Legal note: I am in no way, shape or form insinuating this shot is worthy of National Geographic...the saying is to me about travel, not the quality of my shots shared.
By writing the above…I have motivated myself to get off my shovel and start planning another adventure!
Adventure before dementia!
