July saw the onset of tremendous heat... and fireworks!
Dallas Skyline with Happy Fireworks to Start July
The beginning of July seemed to be more dedicated to efforts in capturing shots in the local Wetland Center. I can recall two early mornings in particular that I wanted sunrise shots during their special hours but the rains were ever present. Odd for Texas summers.

6:30am Breakfast Served Up
There was a moment that stood out in my search for good light. It was at the end of a sweltering day. More normal for Texas.
The morning began exactly like detailed above, soaked. Huge clouds filled the sky and there was thunderful lightning strikes abound and all around. (New word: thunderful) After tucking my tail between my legs and sauntering home, we jumped in the car and headed North. Having met up with great friends for a while, we plotted our course South in order to see off a friend of ours who is soon to be an Aussie. Enter the sweltering heat. Goodbyes said and good-lucks wished, we scurried home to grab the remaining seconds of the sun as it teetered above the horizon. A shot I'm hoping will prove to be a contender later this month.
Last Second Sunset
We come to the end of July, now. The heat, firmly settled in. The winds, like a strong blow-dryer connected to an oven located inside of a kiln. What does a photographer do in this situation? He annoys the people around him. It's the peak of Milky Way season and he was robbed of his chance to capture it in June! Not this time, my friends. Not this time. On a little bridge, spanning the distance of the meandering Red River that divides Oklahoma and Texas, stood the two of us. Alone in the dark at ridiculous hours of the night and looking up like two turkeys in a rainstorm, we saw that beautiful starry sky lit up just for us. The end of July brought a much needed...
FINALLY!!!!!!!! Boom Shakka Lakka!
The end.
