SF3: If only ...

SF3: If only ... (Corvus frugilegus)

If only I'd known he was about to jump and had swung the camera a bit to the right. If only I'd been a few steps further away. If only I'd had a shorter lens on. If only ... then this could have been a really great shot. But at least it's a good SF shot.

Now I have to get jumping too. I have a cake to bake, some chicken ballatons to prep, then clear away my sewing things from the dining room table. We're having company tomorrow. Not a lot of prep today, though. I should be able to catch up on browsing later today.

it's obvious why Norwegians are cross-country skying champions, even the rooks seem to excel, superb SF shot, Ann, many tfs!!

Love these images with snow! Another dimension of lighting.
You're making me want to check out chicken ballatons and my Norwegian heritage.
