Week 20 - Jordan

I was very excited that we had our first "real" thunderstorm of the year. So excited that I tried to go to the park just south of us to take pictures because I knew it's dark there. That didn't work out when it started raining, so I retreated back to the house. Couldn't shoot through a window because it was getting hit by rain, so I opened the garage door and setup the tripod. I took 5 or so 30 second shots like this one before I got it right and then just crossed my fingers that lightning would happen where I was aimed during those 30 seconds.

Week 20 – Nate

Nila, Maggie and I went for a “hike” at the Overland Park Arboretum this week. I was really hoping to take some pictures in the botanical gardens but mother nature had other ideas: just about the time we got as far away from our car as possible, it started pouring. We ran the ~1 mile back to the car and, completely soaked, decided to head home. Hopefully we’ll make it back out there another weekend. Until then, I present you with this picture of a tree. WOO!
