I was cropping this image when Sylvia walked into the office.  She said that the apple tree looked even better today.

I picked up my camera and went out to find a better shot.  As I focused on the tree, an intruder walked into the frame.

You may see her left of center in the bottom part of the image.  I inset a closer view in the lower left.

She appears to be on a mission, but that ended at the neighbor’s fence.  Perhaps she didn’t want to leap the fence.  Perhaps she saw something.

She perked up those big ears.  She stared intently.  Then, she turned and ran faster than the speedy camera.

She soon had disappeared into some tall brush.  Moral of the story: Sometimes it’s better when things don’t go according to plan.
