*Shadow Of A Doubt* ~*~ I sat in my garden Of serenest meditating Cleansing my mind On a gray rainy day. Descending upon me I witnessed A dark shadow wings flopping In utter silence. It perched atop My enclosed screened garden With wings spread A hawk I thought Or was it? I was at awe. I slowly Reached for my camera The shutter clicked Endlessly The shadow never moved Nor took flight. I lost track of time I woke startled From the comfort Of a rocking chair The shadow was gone No longer there. I thought Was I was dreaming? Did I see it, or was it Just a shadow of a doubt? Alert No longer confused I reached for my camera To review its contents. Again I was left at awe With its total magnificence No longer A shadow of a doubt. 　 By: William Bonilla “D’Artagnan” 06/04/2012

William,
Sometimes we only have a split second to capture that moment in time. You did this beautifully..the pic and verses.

Blessings,

(I am a bird lover)..the other day I heard cries that sounded like a cat, I ran outside on my deck and there were crows diving at a new born fawn, two other deers trying to break it up...I had to run out and save the fawn..after getting the birds (tons) away by clapping loudy I came in and thought the same thing...did that just happen, it was all so fast~ no camera shot though!

A camera doesn't lie. Quite a remarkable tale. Sometimes our mind plays
Tricks on us. Taking a photo helps to ease our doubts
Awesome poetry William have misses you
Much peace love and light

Beautiful without a shadow of a doubt. I'm jealous and bow to your pen as awakening all I see from my porch is an angry blue jay. Where is my cell camera when I need it. ENJOYED SEEING WITH YOUR EYES.

I do that too, trying to watch a bird takeoff from the high tension wires behind my house. The hawks are the hardest to identify. Every time I hope to see one takeoff, I somehow am sleeping or distracted. But you have the picture for evidence, and I like you, couldn't identify what kind of hawk it is.

That's why I don't like eye witness accounts.

As I love to take pictures as well, I usually have my NIKON close by no matter where I go or what I do and I have discovered they do seem to have a mind of their own. Driving down a country lane not far from where I live was an old red barn, a heritage site that once was part of a farm asylum. Anyway something told me to take a picture or two of it, I did, and the next day I read in the news that it had burned to the ground.
