I think I'd prefer to catch a fish.

Emily is beautiful. You know that, I know that, even my crabby, old neighbor knows that.  

But do you know what I go through to have actual proof of this fact?

Seriously. 

Snapping a picture of her is nearly impossible.

Look closely at these next photos.  

You will see my hand and/or arm visible as I try and restrain her natural wildness for just ten seconds.

Failure after failure after failure.

Yet, occasionally, I have a success.

Or two.

Or three.

And it helps me to keep trying.

Because sometimes I don't have to hold her down, and I capture a moment that makes 

the failures worth it.
