How do you do this?
This morning, I was driving on our major highway and had a grey squirrel run across the street with a little lifeform in its mouth. I think it was a baby squirrel. Now my question: how do you take a picture of that? I have an i-phone 12 but not in my hand when I am driving. I never see scenes like that when I am walking somewhere.
Is it pure luck to catch shots like that?

The right lighting and having your camera ready is important, too. Clouds roll in, obscuring mountains.
So, I take the picture when I see something beautiful.

Those are amazing pictures.
Thank you.
@LiterateHiker I realize that the best pictures are taking while on your feet. I need to practice more walking.

Either that or extreme patience . You can spend hours waiting for something to happen , in a squirrel popular area perhaps even encourage something to happen by offering food , and then , maybe you'll get , " lucky . "

Thank you. I do have lots of patience, but even that is not enough. I just came back on the back roads where the bison herd lives. I stopped to take some pictures of the herd, especially the babies, but they saw me and all withdrew. Is it the red hair, I wonder?
