storm

I couldn’t help it. I had to post this image from last week’s ah-mazing sunrise after the storm. It kind of reminds of the Lion King with the colors and birds meets San Andreas with all the flooding on the right hand side of the image, except wayyy less dramatic.

PS. Today is my half birthday. Am I the only nerd who likes to celebrate their half birthdays? I feel like I get a pass since it only comes around every four years. CUPCAKES for everyone!

I went out yesterday not really know what to expect. The whole day had been foggy and rainy. At one point the sun came out. But that only lasted for 5 minutes before it got SUPER dark. The rain started pouring and I had kinda made up my mind that I was going to stay home. Twenty minutes later I looked out the window again and the rain had stopped. I went out and hoped to get some moody US Capitol shots and ended up with this. So when I say it was a crazy weather day yesterday, I ain’t lying!

The last time I was at the Grand Canyon I was caught in the middle of a huge rainstorm. We spent most of the day trapped in the visitor center with about 50 other people. Not really the type of adventure I had anticipated but as soon as the rain stopped this beautiful fog rolled through the canyon. It made the Grand Canyon look so small because hardly anything was visible.

I imagine if I were a guy, this is what I’d look like from behind. After I was done taking my DSLR images, Ill out my iPhone and take a few pics with that. I always text them to Andrew. I don’t know why. I think it’s partly to let him know I’m ok but also to show him all the cool stuff he’s missing out on, like an approaching storm thats about to hit the Washington Monument.

Three things I was grateful for this week:

1. Being able to fly back to Taiwan and see family I haven’t seen in almost 8 years.

2. New found joy in Snapchat. Seriously, I’m having so much fun on there! (Username: abpanphoto)

3. Starting a new book called Creative Confidence. I’m currently reading it on the plane.
