My Perfect Day?

Have you ever had a perfect moment in time?

How about the opposite, how about both the same day?
A instant you laugh a instant you cry and about everything in between. I had a day like that recently, it was simply insane.

For those of you who are not photographers it is hard to explain the perfect shot, it just does not come along often for most of us. It came to me today and I even had my camera with me! Dawn had just broken and the light was perfect, a huge Bull Elk was getting up out of his bed and was framed by the dawn, I clicked and nothing… my battery was dead. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my backup and hoped that it had actually charged. I had gotten a Canon SD 750 Charger from SterlingTEk and charged my battery in the car on the way up the mountain, but I had never tested it out. I almost dropped the battery slipping it in to the camera, I eased up for a second I could not see him, he had frozen still having heard my fumbling but still did not know where I was. I eased the camera up and snapped. What happened next was a site to behold, I am guessing that old bull was half deaf and he thought I was behind him. He charged straight toward me all 900+ pounds of him, I threw my camera one way and dove for cover the other way and managed to not get stomped. It took a while to find my camera and some dry pants, but that one perfect shot will always be my favorite.
