A lucky photo ( by Jack Owens)

My friend Tim has always loved photography and has asked me a million times to go
with him to theforest and take photos of the wildlife there. Ive always said no, because the idea of
looking at sometrees all day doesnt seem at all interesting. Anyway, last week I agreed to go with him.
He told me thathe wanted to take a photo to enter a competition, and needed someone to help him
carry his equipment. The journey there wasnt too long, and the forest was a beautiful place to be. But I
was bored after an hour, and we couldnt leave because Tim didnt have any good pictures yet. So, I
started playing games on my mobile phone. Put that thing away, Tim said. Just enjoy nature. Shortly
after, we started walking again and then Tim stopped suddenly. He pointed at a tree and said
quietly, Thats a rufous hummingbird. Ive never seen one of them before! Tim put down his bag, got
his equipment out and started cleaning the lens on his camera. However, the hummingbird flew
from the tree and came to a flower next to me. I wanted to shout to Tim to quickly take a picture of it,
but I knew the hummingbird would fly away. So, I took a picture with my mobile phone. When Tim was
finally ready, the hummingbird was not there anymore and he was very annoyed. He didnt manage to
take any good pictures that day, but on our way back to the car, I showed him the picture of the
hummingbird on my mobile phone. He couldnt believe it. Its perfect! he said. In the end, we entered
my photo into the competition and won second prize in the Nature category.
