Day 2 - Don't Get Discouraged

"Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines."   ~  Robert H. Schuller

Heavy thunderstorms moving into the area early this morning wasn't going to discourage me.  Good time to try to get some lightning shots.   Ended up, the storm was moving north and east of where I was at so I decided to try to get a few other shots in before the rain would start.

Rain will not keep me from shooting.   I'll shoot from my car, under an umbrella, under building overhangs, or cover up the gear with plastic.....usually will find something that catches my eye.

Today, between the rain showers, I found a few birds laying low......so, good for me I didn't get too wet...just a little while laying on the ground to take get this Tricolor Heron.

So, don't let rainy days discourage you.  Get out and find that shot!!
