After waiting for 5 months for rain at our house, we had quite the monsoon storm last night here in Arizona. I saw lightning to the south and said “I’m not going to get my hopes up”. After several minutes I decided to see what it looked like from our driveway which looks to the north. There was lightning to the north, east and south and almost continual strikes. Some strikes were cloud to cloud and then really bright strikes from cloud to ground. I decided to forego getting out my DSLR and tripod to shoot lightning as it was rather close. About 5 minutes later this was happening! This video was taken with my Nikon P7000 compact camera.

My Favorite Photos of 2013
With only a couple of days left for 2013, I thought it was time to share my favorite photos of the year. A year ago I had no idea photography would still be the major focus of my life. And writing a blog was not even at the back of my mind, let alone an idea that might come to fruition. The past year was full of experiences that I never thought would happen. What will 2014 bring for me? Only time will tell, until then enjoy my favorite photos of 2013!
