Father's Day Duty

The Adventure:
It starts like any other Sunday morning at our house. Jumping on the tramp with the two kids while the sun finally peaks over the surrounding mountains. This Father's Day morning is no different. I notice a Quail perched on our fence standing at attention, nervously watching the ground just below his feet. After watching him more closely, I notice Mother and babies scurrying through the ground cover. While observing him watch over his family, I thought it appropriate to reflect on the duties of fatherhood. I sat in the grass with my two little kids (twins) and we watched and talked about the Daddy Quail and what he was doing. I couldn’t help but be reminded of my own duties and responsibilities as a father to protect, provide, and love. I have learned that nature provides lessons for us all. I grabbed my camera, and shot a few frames trying to capture this learning lesson.


The Photo Lesson:
Life presents opportunities every day for us to make memories or photographs. Just make sure your equipment is always ready. (i.e. batteries charged, clean, etc.). The best way I found to do this is to always clean and recharge batteries when I return from a trip, not right before I go. That way my gear is always ready to go whenever the opportunity arises.
