Christmas All Year

I can't wait for the dawn when the sun lights the sky,

	to photograph beast or bird as each passes by!

I'm like a Christmas Eve kid thrashing in bed sleeplessly,

	anxious to open those presents that are under the tree.

But I don't seek presents wraped with tinsel or bow.

	Nevertheless they are gifts that set me "aglow".

There are never enough minutes in each safari day,

	to "shoot" all the species that come our way.

But those that I capture in each camera frame,

	excite me like Christmas!  It's all just the same.

I can't wait for the dawn when the sun lights the sky.

	to photograph beast or bird as each passes by!
