The way to see the bird you want to see, is to stop looking for it, we all know this. You have to undo your gaze, let the bird happen without you. Be alert to the blue. Anne Enright on waiting for kingfishers in The Wren, The Wren

The best part about going to the beach at dawn to catch the su rise is playing "Stick or Snek?" in the early light Especially when you've seen 3 dead Copperheads in the last few weeks.
