There is talk in our part of the state about a she beast. No one has seen her, but there is evidence of her by the tracks she makes. She is rumored to be seen amongst the wild flowers of the woods in our county. I was a skeptic til one day I happened to be out photographing some wild flowers in our local woods. Little did I know I would capture the prize of a lifetime. My task made me loose track of time. The sun was going down and my film was almost spent. I could squeeze a few more frames from the roll so I crept slowly and quietly to the most beautiful flower of the day. The sun was glowing a soft red on the petals through the leaves. I knelt to capture it's beauty and when I arose I was staring into the eyes of the she beast. She looked at me and growled then stopped as if to pose for me. I quickly snapped off the last few exposures on the film. I glanced down at the camera and when I looked up she was gone. When I got home and developed the film the last frame revealed her beauty. A beauty I will remember for all time... "She Beast" by Llola Lane
