7-25-2011



Monday afternoon i saw that a storm was blowing in on my way home from work, so i decided to snatch up my gear and head out back of the house and try to capture some lightning. It was a slow moving front so it gave me plenty of time to take some photos, however this particular storm decided to bring a host of heat lightning and only a few cloud to ground bolts. I did manage to capture one of them although it turned out mediocre at best i was still pleased that i captured one. There are supposed to be more storms later this week, so i might have another opportunity to better photograph some lightning.

My Little Water Bug


After a few times of letting Callie swim at the lake and the pool, I had just about decided that she was just not cut out to be a swimmer. Until this weekend... I decided to load up the kayak and the fishing tackle, and take ole Callie with me. We went down to Warrior Kimberly bridge and paddled up stream a bit. I pulled off the embankment, let her out and proceeded to watch what could only be described as a crazed gremlin running rampant in and out of the water. She surprised me. My little girl is a water bug! 







These next few were taken in the creek behind the house.
