Pigs in the Hood

I have tried to carry my camera with me at ALL times for quite awhile now. It has been a very good strategy and has rewarded me with some great pictures... a coyote, a wild horse, some hawks and a double rainbow just to mention a few.

The other night I dropped my guard and left the camera at home when I ran out to pick up my son from a friends house. I thought "Why bother. It's dark and I'll never see anything worth shooting in the 15 minutes this trip will take me."

BOY WAS I WRONG! As we were pulling away from his friends house we saw something walking across someones front yard. We stopped for a closer look and got within about 15 feet from some javelinas. At least I had my cameraphone to get some kind of picture.

Maybe this will teach me a lesson and I will never again leave my house without my camera. That way, I could drop by this house and give them a picture for them to submit with the insurance claim for the damaged plante. In the meantime, feel free to check out some of my photo galleries over at Flowing Desert Photography.
