Do you watch the sky all day analyzing if the sunset will be good? I do. Two epic sunsets in a row and I was kicking myself for not being out by the lake to watch them, but alas the little man was napping and I’m still figuring out how to feed myself dinner in between breastfeeding. I haven’t been playing with my camera enough lately and I really miss it. When the colors started peaking I went out into the back yard to watch them, but I couldn't stand not trying to capture the majesty of the sky. The filtered view forced me to zoom in on specific parts of the sky. It was a fun challenge to look for little nuggets I could frame, instead of capturing the whole damn beautiful sky at once like I normally would-I feel like the intensity of the clouds shines though even more.

After a very white winter (yay powder!) it was fun to go chase the colors of spring for a week. What is your favorite time of year?

My husband is well trained. A friend spotted this bobcat on our drive home from shooting around the lake. I of course freaked out and called “big lens!” My husband had my 400mm out of the bag in the back, and in my hands in seconds! Always a fleeting and special to share a glimpse into the lives of wild animals, and as a photographer its even more special when you can snag a shot.

I’ve always loved watching storms—rain, snow, thunder and lightning. But rain at a distance is truly magical. My favorite part of this picture is the fact that the mountains on the left are blurred by an almost invisible sheet of rain we can just see falling into the lake.

Five minutes prior we were getting blown sideways in a snowstorm...
