These Crazy Photo Ops Had A One-In-A-Million Chance Of Happening -- And They Did

[Catty1]

A camera's shutter snap (or whatever the digital equivalent is) can capture a tiny moment of time for all eternity. Motion becomes still, and the fleeting passage of time gets stopped, at least in a way. And sometimes, everything lines up so that the frozen moments turn into something truly amazing. Or bizarre. Or hilarious. However they turn out, these one-in-a-million shots are noteworthy because of how striking they are.
Here are some of our favorites. And as usual, we'd tell you if they were Photoshopped. They aren't. Sometimes things really are cool, okay?

You probably carry a camera around with you everywhere anyway, but it's photos like these that will put you on the lookout for incredible photo opportunities.

I enjoyed these ones very much!

Some fun shots! I think I would have captioned that last one differently! "Tim, after visiting for weeks, was surprised when the humans finally got his psychic message and started tossing peanuts instead of birdseed!
