Ran across this fellow over in Carlsbad, CA in one of their many lagoons.
The thing is, after we walked past him heading around the lagoon, I realized I had filled up my camera card, with no spare on me. I decided to delete a few photos “just in case”. As we headed back to the car, we noticed had had caught lunch!
Lesson learned: pay attention to how full your camera card is, and don’t leave the extra in the car. 😁




Good you were able to catch these shots Lisa, I always start each adventure with a clean card, that way I don’t get caught with an unexpected surprise😊

Thank you, Ashely! I am usually extra careful (packing extra cards on every trip). Guess I just got carried away with beach photos and filled it up!! 🤣⛱️

Thank you Amy! yes! And funny thing, I’m usually very careful taking extra camera cards on our trips. So I just wasn’t paying attention!

Thank you Aunt Patsy! Maybe 25 or 30 feet? I had a zoom lens so that helped.

Wow, what an action shot! Is that a net around the fish or is that just how it looks?

Awesome shot…I know what that is like …filling up the camera card. Quick thinking on your part to delete a few and make some room.

Thank you! Yes, lesson learned! But I guess sometimes I also need to let myself see something awesome and not need to see it through the camera lens!

Yes, that also can be pretty awesome just to stand and observe with your eyes.
