Timing is everything.

Whether preparing a seven-course meal or waiting to catch the photo of a lifetime, it all comes down to timing.

Today's Photo of the Day by Dundalk photographer Jimmy Rode represents the very essence of that concept—being in the right place at the right time, and then being able to capture the exact moment when a woodpecker was doing what woodpeckers do in a tree at North Point State Park.

Enjoy!
