I had planned the perfect week. Several days photographing landscapes in one of my favorite natural parks. Another day photographing the Iberian wolf in the Guadarrama Mountains. Night shots using a trail camera for the first time... and nothing turned out as expected. It didn't stop raining for 48 hours. I couldn't use the surveillance camera or photograph landscapes.

Would you like to meet it?

Hello friends,

With just a few hours left in 2017, I wanted to write one of those memorable articles. One of those articles that people would remember for years... and then I changed my mind.
