I’ve been on the road, at a meeting in Chicago then visiting family in Cleveland, so there hasn’t been much opportunity to watch nature unfold. In one of my brief pauses at home, I watched this group of 5 TVs stop and sun themselves in a nearby field.
It was a bit of a comedy of errors – I picked up the first camera: dead battery. I picked up the second camera: no memory card, and of course I can’t locate the spare. Arrgh! Finally I get all the pieces in place in time to get a few quick snaps, though not all the pics I wanted nor the great poses I saw earlier.

I hear you, Mary. Up close, TVs have a face only a mother could love.
I would like to tell you how many times I left the house with camera, later to find out I forgot the battery. Very frustrating!
Good photos anyway. I prefer distant TV faces anyway.
chrisss – I guess we’ve discovered the photographer’s equivalent to “the one that got away”
Yikes, the same thing has happened to me countless times….it’s always when you see the perfect shot that the camera battery dies or some other calamity occurs.
scienceguy, I attribute this to the innate perversity of inanimate objects.
It seems that the wildlife and your camera did not want to mix.
mon@rch – we need a new definition of photography, involving triumph over adversity
jochen – couldn’t agree more!
Still, any TV is a great TV!
Almost sounds like the story of my life with the cameras! Love your TV shots!
