Carpe Diem II

Sometimes opportunity knocks when you least expect it. The day last August, for instance, when our tree services folks came to take a sample from one of our giant elms. Late August, annuals in their full glory, and there's a bucket truck out in my parking lot!

So after a short conversation with our tree guy, there I am in the bucket, heading up into the sky with camera in hand. What a view! This is one of many pictures I shot in that very special ten minutes.
