A broken mirror is said to bring you seven years of bad luck. Hopefully not! I broke this mirror just to shoot this photo!

A look into a mossy glade next to the boardwalk on the White Cedar Segment of the Ice Age Trail. Oh how I love this kind of thing. On my next time through I'll lower the perspective some, but this is certainly different.

Departing from Tilbury.

After getting the Mandarin Duck, we headed for Arrowhead Marsh to try our luck at the Tropical Kingbird. There were several people we ran into looking for this misguided bird but unable to find him, so we headed out for Lake Merrit in search of the Tufted Duck. As we're making our way past the islands to the large fountain we stopped to get some shots of the male Ruddy Duck sporting a new blue bill when we looked up to see several Greater Scaup being followed by the Tufted Duck...yes, that's the way it happened...:) We all got a good laugh at this 'good luck' of fortune!
I've had such poor luck catching sunsets with clouds lately. We've had three conditions, no clouds, the clouds vanish just before sunset, or it is completely overcast.... On this one I had a day with a little sunset luck, and didn't see the birds until I got home.
I called this a lucky shot because it was on my first encounter with these short-eared owls and taken in a split second focus and shoot.
I was parked in my car with both windows down. I heard the owl before I saw it. I watched it dip and dive as it approached the passenger side of my vehicle.
While sitting in the drivers seat I snapped this as it flew past the open passenger window not much more than 15 feet from the car. I cropped it to portrait format because it was originally on the far right side of the frame. Not perfect but I got a shot and was shocked I pulled it off.
Meantime after it flew by this window it turned up and over and landed on a pole just behind me. All other shots I have of the short eared owl is this same owl but I left it undisturbed on the post where it originally landed. It was a lucky day.

Some moments truly are an embodiment of luck. Right as I lined up the composition, calculated the shutter (ND), the sun broke the rim of the falls, warmed the pool below, and a surge of mist rose up. The lights here are not mist on the filter, but the sun's light bending through the mist it just conjured.

“That is life, isn’t it? Fate. Luck. Chance. A long series of what-if’s that lead from one moment to the next, time never pausing for you to catch your breath, to make sense of the cards that have been handed to you. And all you can do is play your cards and hope for the best, because in the end, it all comes back to those three basics.
Fate. Luck. Chance.”
― Kelseyleigh Reber
So life.... and luck... I've learned...
Luck really doesn't just happen.... don't depend on it. If you don't do the work, you're not going to get the results. But...sometimes.... luck may take you to a place and hand you an unexpected treasure... like the little blue flowers growing all over by this unfortunate odd shed, with no house anywhere nearby. I'm going back to dig some up!
And also unfortunate... I have learned that in a battle between a nylon jacket and picker bushes... the picker bushes are going to win, hands down. Jacket totally shredded! Oh, and along the same line... running pants will also not do much to protect you from picker bushes. Legs and ankles... also shredded.
And as if that wasn't enough for one day.... I'm here to tell you that the mosquitoes are out ... in force! I was also eaten alive by mosquitoes. I couldn't slap them off fast enough. And do you want to talk about ticks....no, let's not!!
Yeah... not much luck in my world today (except for the pretty little blue flowers! I hope they aren't full of mosquitoes and ticks!)

Wildlife photography with a wide angle lens. All you need is plenty of luck.
Swallows move so quickly and erratically and they are fascinating to watch in flight. When I see them, I always take a few shots in hopes that I'll be on the mark. It does take skill and practice, but it does take a "whole lotta luck" as well.
This is one of the lucky shots. I not only got the Swallow in flight, but I also got his reflection in the water.
This was taken with my 5.6 - 400 mm lens, which doesn't have IS.

Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Oh, but I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home
I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
or driven to its knees
Oh, but it's all right, it's all right
for we've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road
we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying
We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hour
and sing an American tune
Oh, and it's alright, it's all right, it's all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest

What Luck
What luck I can pick
berries in the wood
I thought
there is no wood no berries.
What luck I can lie
in the shade of a tree
I thought trees
no longer give shade.
What luck I am with you
my heart beats so
I thought man
has no heart.

*Mike Dumlao, a friend, a respected artist, a dilettante, a poet, a thinker. A New Yorker.
An inspiration.
I regret that I did not get a chance to meet him when I was at the Big Apple. But the inspiration of his works did infuse me with such visual energy and dynamic outlook that I began to photograph NYC the way he would have seen and captured it. This is for you, kaibigan. Peng you.

It was pure luck meeting Zac. I was walking home one night and was surprised to see a party going on at the house next door. Just outside was a really nice, mint condition, vintage Beetle. I needed a car for this shoot, and this was the one. I walked over and asked the kids at the party if it was one of theirs. One guy walked over and gave me Zac's number and said to SMS him as it was his but he was away that moment.
I SMS'd him and he turned out to be a really cool guy who happily drove over for us to shoot with his car. We had a lot of fun and I felt really lucky to make new friends that night.

This image is either luck or not... I believe not so much. the image isn't perfect, but it was the only image I was able to get.
to start I was hoping to finish work early and go take some pictures... didn't finish till 3.30 and only had a short time. I walked 1km to this location, spent some time setting up and try to position the camera so its not taking all the wind and ocean spray. I got the camera focused, started taking my exposure then when it hit 56seconds...."change battery pack", I took the 2 batteries out of the battery grip, put my other two in and "change battery pack". spent the whole day wanting to take photos and when I had the chance, I forgot to charge my batteries! this was the only image I had.

A piece of mail art from the inimitable Mr. David Fullarton Esquire, Secretary-Treasurer of the Northern California Chapter of the Donny Osmond Appreciation Society and former Sean Connery Highlander Games record holder in the caber toss.
A stoke of luck meant that we found ourselves driving past the Glenfinnan Viaduct about half an hour before "The Jacobite" steam train was due to pass over it.
It's a popular place to catch a picture of the fictional "Hogwarts Express"; as a result of which there is now a giant car park at the bottom of the valley and two hundred or so people on the hillside behind me getting the same picture.
And, of course being Scotland, it started raining as soon as the train appeared.
Saw this guy in the car next to me, while I was pumping gas. Told my son (16) to get a shot of him for me. He's put me to shame again.... S'ok. He's cool. Dad's not.
after twenty minutes of imprecations for the thorns that were killing me, the young gentleman here finally decided to show himself for a couple of seconds.
(Actually I don't know if it's a male or a female)
With an incredible stroke of luck he settled on those twigs in the shape of a heart (at least I see a heart)
The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.
