Sometimes You Get Lucky

Last year I was in Florida visiting my step daughter in the Boca Ratan area, soaking up some warm sunshine and getting away from cold and snow in Michigan. I found a large interesting plant in the landscaping at her condo complex, and spotted a very nice area of the plant that I thought would be a nice composition, but I didn’t have my camera with me, so I thought, well I’ll just have to come back here the next day.  The next day was perfect as it was cloudy, so I knew I wouldn’t have to deal with diffusing the area from the sun. When I got to the spot I wanted to shoot, I was shocked to see this cute little lizard perfectly composed right in the area that I had composed in my mind.  I was so excited to see it there, because it added to the composition.  Sometimes you just get lucky being in the right place at the right time. But you don’t get lucky if you are not out there trying.
