Stories Collected While Living in France
I clicked the photo hoping to capture this camel’s beautiful eye with his long eyelashes. But he had other ideas! He stepped back, turned his head and walked away. I was disappointed by the missed opportunity!
Sometimes we think we know the best; only to be shown later that one way is not the only way. Sometimes the missed opportunity is the miracle we didn’t see coming!
It is like he is showing us the past. What a beautiful shot. I would love to see Egypt.
So true Corey! This picture is still excellent with the pyramide in the background!
Tongue in Cheek responds:
That was the miracle!
When I was focusing on the camel’s eye I didn’t notice the pyramid behind him, at the same time I clicked the camera to take the shot is when he stepped back and turned his head, the surprise was before me! I didn’t realize the view I had captured until I downloaded the photos!
Awesome pic! Could be a postcard. “Greetings from Egypt!”. =o)
Absolutely true ! A great magic in life that I encounter time and time again ! My words are not nearly as eloquent as yours though…
thank you again !
“Sometimes the missed opportunity is the miracle we didn’t see coming!” — so true! what a beautiful shot.
Other than a shot of his eye, I don’t think you could’ve gotten a better one. With the camel glancing in the distance at the pyramid, the content is priceless.
Naturally…a true professional!
food for thought…once again.
great shot, Corey…I love surprizes!!! :o)
You have done it again… Stunning!
You know sister, Camel cigarettes would pay you for a shot like this to hawk thier product…but I say screw the bastards. Kool photo.

“Sometimes we think we know the best; only to be shown later that one way is not the only way. Sometimes the missed opportunity is the miracle we didn’t see coming!”
I completely agree, but this is only available in retrospect. In this particular case, you got pretty quick feedback. So often though, there are months or even years between the missed opportunity and the bigger, better one to come. How frustrating that can be!
So true – life can be so multi-faceted…sort of like staring at a diamond under the light of the sun, you can look at it for hours and every angle is different…
great photo!!
Nicole:
I hear you sister! Often it isn’t as simple as missing some eyelashes in a photo! Life can throw some mighty punches. That is where faith and trust come in…umm
Diana,
It is not how the words are said, but that they are said. That is the true beauty of communication! Comments help me know my audience, they encourage and challenge me.
I appreciate your sharing with me!

so true and this was definitely one of those moments because this pic is simply amazing.
that picture must have felt like a gift! It is the most amazing shot, and to have accomplished without knowing you were..wow!
Love how you framed this photo, the pyramid fits so neatly under his chin…
You are so right! “Sometimes the missed opportunity is the miracle we didn’t see coming!” Yes yes yes!
The picture is beautiful! It looks like the camel is going to eat the pyramid! Funny angle it is!
Keep up the good work!
Great things!
This would not have been a missed opportunity in my book, but I do know all about those photographic misses, believe me!
