mind photo.

You know what I'm talking about. Those perfect Kodak moments and there you are with no camera. The picture stays in your head forever but you can never print it out.

Mine is of my son when he was in either Kindergarten or 1st grade. We were in the Spanish Bay area of Pebble Beach looking at the ocean and those sand squirrels were everywhere. They're very tame because everyone feeds them even though there are signs reading Please Don't Feed the Suirrels.

One of them comes right up to my son and he bends down at the waist to look at it while the suirrel gets on his hind legs to look at him so they ended up nose to nose.

Cutest damn thing forever etched in my memory.

1. 1977, several freinds and I drove an old Pinto

Yes, Pinto, up 40 miles of dirt road north of Anchorage, Alaska. It was 2am when we came upon a valley, and at the other end was this enormous white glacier, we were in the shadow, but the midnight sun came over the top of us and lit the thing in colors I have never seen before or since.

No camera.

I think God planned it that way...

2. Hiking in the New Mexico Rockies...

...our campsite was called Something Meadow. I'm used to being underwhelmed at names, but when we rounded the bend into that meadow...I saw the most beautiful expanse of grass and wildflowers I have ever seen. We had a wild deer follow us from that site for a couple of days.

I'll never forget that scenery - like a painting!

3. I was driving through Rocky Mt National Park in CO with my hubby.

It had been raining off & on all day. We were up in almost in the clouds. When we came around a curve there was a rainbow right beside us going down through the mountains into a lake with this misty fog raising off it. I was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, the colors are still vivid in my mind. We sat there until the rainbow faded, I have no idea how long it was, and didn't say a word.

while fog billowed over a Yorkshire moor.

7. see...i've been tempted to

carry a camera EVERYWHERE I GO, just in case these moments happen...then you always have a camera with you, problem solved!

8. Me too.

But for some reason I just don't do it.

Some of these descriptions are stunning.

circa 1964. i was about six...we're all half-naked playing in my aunts backyard. that makes me remember my grandparents and all the other relatives who've passed on.

10. I had one like that...

We briefly had a terrapin in a 75 gallon terrarium filled with dirt, leaves, and some branches that sat on our dresser. One minute my 2 year old son was looking at him from outside of the tank, the next minute he'd climbed up on the bed, and in the tank with the critter, gleefully flinging handfuls of dirt around.

I'd have gotten my camera, but I didn't want to risk either of them getting hurt...
