Wacky dreams!

Yesterday a friend got a great photo of a boreal owl which must have planted of “seed of need” for me to get out and take some pictures into my dreams since I just woke from a wacky dream where I was on quite a journey with my camera in tow. First I was in a truck riding out on a ridge and though I had my camera and was seeing lots and lots of beautiful birds, I had only brought my wide lens that I use for aurora (12mm) and just couldn’t get the pictures I wanted!

Then at the end of the road I got onto a boat, a wide one that can hold lots of people, sort of one like they have at the jungle ride in Disney Land with the canopy over the top and a guide, but the guide was warning about all the animals on the sides of the shore that we saw since they were hungry and wanted to eat us. I just wanted to get their picture and was sorely disappointed I didn’t have my telephoto zoom lens. I saw a tiger hiding in a cave on the shore (see, wacky!) and an alligator fighting to eat a cougar-like animal. All the while I was trying to get pictures of the amazing animals in action, but my lens was just too wide to be able to get the close up detail I wanted! And then, of course, a snake drops from the trees overhead into the boat and everyone is freaking out and the guide is telling us to not let the snake’s face touch you or you will be poisoned (that is NOT how it works, incidentally!), so I gingerly pick up the snake and toss him into the water and he swims off happily.

At the end of the journey I have to get out and climb a HUGE wall. On the other side of the wall, once I get past a few scoundrel-like characters I jump on a motorbike and race through the city to get to an ending I never find since I instead wake up.

This combined with an upset stomach over the night has left me confused.

Coffee. I think I’m going to need a lot of coffee today.
