Usually at that altitude there aren't many snakes because it gets too cool at night. Even in the summer.
I'm only at 4200' and although near the Eastern Oregon desert there are no rattlers or timber rattlers here. I do see about 1 garter snake a year and that's it. Still keep a wary eye though cause woods is woods! lol

 

lightning last night
Sorry it's kind of blurry

 

Awesome catch Amie!

 

Thanks Charlie! I was sitting on the porch waiting for it for awhile lol

 

That is awesome Amie! I got this one from a video I shot last night.

 

I love the lightning shots guys!

 

Thanks!! I didn't have a tripod or anything so I tried my best to hold the camera as still as possible. I need to learn night photography still lol

Awesome shot too!

 

You need a tri pod and the ir remote for nikons for stuff like that. Great shot though

 

Yep thanks... Not the best photographer

 

Your really good though and your learning, that's te key.

 

I'm trying... Want to go back to school for photography but my best friend thinks it's a waste of time :/ she said just to go buy books
I don't even know

 

Just do like a 2 yr program. Probably help you a lot more then just getting books.

 

Thank you... I have a two year degree in graphic design but would much rather pursue photography and the classes that I took were before the digital madness

 

Our daughter specializes in newborn and infants. She has taken several 3 day courses from professionals and it really paid off. You should look into doing that for the type of photography you want to specialize in

 

That sounds awesome. I want to learn nature and portraits, engagement photos, maybe newborn photos too.
A little nervous about weddings

 

Inaugural trip for our raft on the Arkansas River. A lot harder than I thought. I now have even more respect for the professional raft guides

 

That looks fun though!

 

I have some mega respect for tour guides, not only to do it all summer, and to know what to do and where to go, but how to go though with people that are new pretty much all the time.

 

Love being back at my regular job

 

Oh yum! Imma get Starbucks tomorrow

Cute lil rock dude
