On the history board Dave and I had a brief discussion about happy accidents in picture taking and I mentioned this one ....

Ma had taken a picture of my nephew Scott on the slide of the pool in Ma's backyard with Jason fixing to climb up on the ladder.... a month or so later we went to Bush Gardens in Florida and Ma (who is well known for making many mistakes with cameras) shot over the same film. The result was this picture showing the pool, the slide, and the boys ... but an elephant, his environment, and other buildings at Bush Gardens were imposed on the picture.... we couldn't believe how well this happy accident came out..... there's another one I can't find right now with Jason in the pool with his arm around a crocodile!
