the lake

 

We spent five of the most fleeting days of my summer at paradise this last weekend. Swimming, splashing, cookies, hot dogs, a camp fire, rain, sleeping under the stars, swimming some more, running, eating, drinking pop, exclaiming over the brief appearance of blue sky, napping, splashing, swimming… this is my favorite place on earth.

This year I achieved one of my biggest photography triumphs to date. Something I’ve been wanting to do for sooo long… an ancient goal of mine. I finally conquered it.

Lightning pictures.

Ten of them.

Ten pictures that succeeded amid many ten-second exposures that failed. I am so ridiculously excited about these!

  2. Wonderful. They're all really great, but the last is my favorite! :) I've been wanting to capture lightning for some time, but our house is not a good place to do it because of all the tree coverage; it's hard to get a good glimpse of the sky... However, we do only live one hour away from the lightning capital of the country! :)
