A fun poem I dedicated to my dad. He took us out boating and fishing when I was young.


Blue heron shuffles
down old, gray dock
near yacht with many
blue awnings on top

He surprises us
as we talk
Was he going fishing
or for a walk

I take out silver camera
snap three pictures, four
as he saunters further
toward us on shore

Try to zoom in
get a close shot
What I come up with
is small, not so hot

This seems to be more about getting a good camera shot rather than your father. Perhaps it was your father behind the camera.

Reminds me of some of the pictures of furtive animals that just wouldn't stay still as I tried to photograph them in Yellowstone. One huge antlered elk with a huge harem, scared me so, I only took the picture when he put his head down to graze. When the picture came out, all I got was is a distant rump between trees!
