These are just a few of my favorite photos I’ve taken over the past several months. I love to shoot the outdoors and nature. My wife and I love to hike and these are a couple of my favorites. In the photos below, the top photo is an angry storm coming in that dropped a lot of rain in a big hurry. I was able to capture the photo before the storm hit. The second photo taken when we were on a hike and I saw this beautiful cactus. To do this photo justice, I decided to shoot it up close and get all of its spikey thorns just reaching out to touch someone. Third photo was maybe a tad bit of luck and a fast shutter speed. I could photograph these birds all day long. Very rewarding shot, and a good fit for my “favorites” category.
