Sophia has a fun challenge in store for us – lucky shots we have saved, either while photographing or while editing. Please go to her lovely site for great inspiration!
When flying in to Victoria Falls, we saw the pillar of water drops rising from the river and falls up in the sky. And, I did not have a window seat… that’s why this photo is such a lucky shot!
Arriving at the gates, we were welcomed by Pumba himself.
I loved the kudus with their big ears and beautiful faces. Back home, at the computer, I found a bird sitting between the ears of this female, naturally there were some sitting on her back too.
Home again, a summer some 7-8 years ago, we had planned ”fika” at this table. But when we got there, it was already taken…
Ten years ago, in our garden, I was lucky enough to catch a series of our neighbour’s cat raiding two magpies’ nests. I could hardly believe my eyes – or my luck! 6 photos show it all.
Finally, an old, well used photo of my favourite dogs. Sweet memories.
Mille and Totti always had fun together – this quick shot, (on the computer) showed young Totti giving a full head blow to his old friend Mille.
With children and animals, you can always get lucky and surprising pictures!
Thank you, Sofia, for a great challenge! And thank you to Patti for enlightening us on the three layers! A good teacher and many excellent answers!

I enjoyed this collection Ann-Christine. Mille and Totti at play is a great photo. I really wanted to throw stone at that cat robbing nests. I felt your disappointment at having the picnic table taken over by cows when you planned a good time and fika
Terrific moments of chance Ann-Christine. Of course my favorite has to be Mille and Totti at play – adorable! I also loved the cat series, especially the final image through the trees. As always though, all are terrific!
Well, Ann-Christine, these take the top prize for lucky shots. What a wonderful series! I found myself smiling at the moments you caught with your camera.
Oh, aren’t these wonderful! I’m not surprised your recent adventures yielded some luck, but you – unlike me – have an excellent memory for past lucky breaks.
Ann-Christine, I love all of these animal captures. The kudu with the birds is amazing but my favorite is the cat in the bird’s nest. That’s a once in a lifetime lucky shot!
I regard all of my photos as lucky if they turn out, Ann-Christine, but I know that isn’t a problem you have. Pumba did make me smile. Have a happy week xx
