My self-conversation at 05:15
Wise self: You should go hiking
Lazy self: Nah, it looks cold, dark and foggy
Wise self: You should go hiking
Lazy self: Well, ok... but lets not carry the big camera
Wise self: You might miss something important
Lazy self: But my shoulder hurts
Wise self: GET IN THE CAR
Always listen to your wise self

@hardaker Hiking … with the car? 🤔
@dnkrupinski Well... Yes. Because to be a good wildlife photographer you need to sometimes drive to where they are, because they won't come to where I live. Then you need to show up a **lot** because you still only have a fraction of a chance of seeing something like a bobcat. (granted I also saw probably 20 rabbits and 10-15 deer too). Fortunately, I knew where some occasionally hung around about 20 minutes away.
But you're right, a better closing line might have been "PUT ON YOUR BOOTS".
@hardaker @dnkrupinski "Because to be a good wildlife photographer you need to sometimes drive to where they are, because they won't come to where I live."
Frustratingly, I've got a bobcat who *does* come to where I live, and the dog is pretty good at letting me know when he shows up...but it's always when I don't have a camera ready.
