Timing is everything

I missed Cooper's Hawk this afternoon.
I saw him as he was taking off from the deck railing. I have to depend on my intuition. The birds do not announce nor do they take direction from me.
Today I was busy planning photos for Valentine's cards. I had all these ideas on what shots I wanted.
I kept missing my opportunity for photos.
Finally I let go. I followed my heart again rather than my head.
