I’ve finally done it! I mean I’ve taken pictures of dragonflies flying but this photo is better. It took a lot patience and a cooperative California Darner Dragonfly to get this shot.
Its not easy to get a photo of a dragonfly.
As a bonus I started my day at 5:15 AM to the sound of thunder. I literally jumped out of bed, ran to the window to make sure it was really lightning and was out the door by 5:23. I try not to miss lightning photo opportunities if I can help it. Here is one shot from the batch:
I love the smell of lightning in the morning.
I went home, burned a bagel and left for work. All in all, a great day.

I’ve never really worked with props before and balloons are a difficult to get used to, especially on a windy day. Anna requested some “retro or vintage” photo effects; I may have gone a little overboard, but I think the final product turned out fantastic.

My wife and I went hiking yesterday, we started at the Kiwanis Park in Pleasant Grove.
The trail was more challenging than I remembered but worth the exertion. There were a few close calls involving a child and the river but we arrived at the waterfall intact.
I enjoy hiking because you see places where I would not normally go. Hiking reminds me why I take photographs, to show people how something as common as a leaf can be unique. For instance rain, everyone sees the rain and the mud but a closer inspection reveals an entirely different experience. While hiking I see new landscapes or views I’ve see before but have changed. Every moment is unique, I just try to capture the best ones.
