Morning Showers Gave Way To Outdoor Activities
After not watching the weather forecast last night before we went to bed, Kristy and I were surprised by lightning, thunder, and rain showers early this morning. I had hoped to photograph lightning, but that did not happen. Instead, I photographed rain shafts on the horizon. My first images were at ground level. When the rain missed my spot on the earth I popped my drone in the air for views from a much higher level.

After these showers passed it was time for some outdoor activities. My travels took me trout fishing, bluegill fishing, and wildflower enjoying.
