Not a Unicorn

I'm certain that everyone has a tail of the one that got away.

Mine (one of many) was of a raven sitting on a branch. He was sitting on a dead, bent tree in the middle of a flooded wood stand. There was mist all around. Very dramatic.

I probably only a had a minute or so to see this, but it felt like much, much longer. Than it was over.

As I continued to walk where I was going I suddenly remembered why I was out and about; I needed to take some photos of some buildings. With my camera. That I had with me. When I saw the bird.

Since then I've gone back to that same tree a couple of dozen times and have never had the same experience.
