Lightning over Nevada

The last two evenings have seen thunderstorms roll through northern Nevada.  On Tuesday it was too rainy and windy to try to capture anything as I wasn’t about to take my camera and self out into that mess, but yesterday evening saw the worst of the storms a bit to the south of us and after many, many, MANY tries, I finally captured this.

Three on the wing

While out front yesterday evening  I managed to capture these three flitting from their perches on some dried-out tumbleweeds and branches.

There’s no point in showing you this photo in color…rabbit and surroundings are the same. Taken on our property. (See, I don’t need to drive 60 miles to shoot wildlife!) And no, they’re not that afraid of us. Or the dogs. Sigh.

While waiting for my students to appear

I should have known better. Tomorrow is Easter. They probably thought I wasn’t going to be there.  While waiting for them to show, I headed out to shoot the bus yard and the surrounding area.

Danielle and Cory shared their stories with us. Danielle was compelling and her story would break your heart.

They both were willing to let me photograph their teeth so that we could convey to our elected officials the dire need for services in our community.  For obvious reasons, I will not be posting those photographs here.

Davit has big dreams of making it one day.

Bette (pronounced Betty, she was quick to tell me!) brought her son in for a flu shot and gave me good-natured hell about taking her photo, yet when I asked if I could photograph her with her boys, she proudly sat between them. I’ve got a print all ready to send to her.
