Wow...what terrific luck and what great reflexes you had to NOT have missed this golden moment! Was this moonlight? #1326816Brett Dolsen November 14, 2010
Thanks Michelle this too was an older capture and I took it in the early morning sun which was backlighting the roo.It all happened pretty quickly and I keep the camera under a towel between my legs when paddling just in case something like this happens. #9032853Gord MacEachern November 14, 2010
