Trek Assessment #2

There were two specific instances on my treks that were also very serene, where it felt really great to be in that moment. I was trying to snap some images of the lake for Trek 2, and there was this huge group of ducks in the middle of the water. I tried to take some video of them swimming- and actually having them move on the screen, but they were much too slow. The still images that I tried to take of them were out of focus, so it looked like logs or something floating on the water unless the viewer were to look very closely. So I ended up hanging out on the beach just watching the ducks waiting for them to get into focus, and even though they never did it was really pleasant.

There was also an instance, again on Trek 2, while I was taking pictures along the hiking trail in the woods. I stopped to take some video, and while I was looking down fiddling with the camera, (keeping very still, naturally) a deer walked across the path in front of me. Granted it was a ways away, and as I started to pull up the camera it was gone, but it felt kind of surreal. It was really neat.
