My Kind of Weather

Kayaking on Wagon Train Lake SRA at Sunrise

When you grow up in Western Nebraska and move east, you never really get used to the heat and humidity, you just learn to live with it. And you learn that when the temperatures turn unseasonably cool in July or August, you get out and enjoy them.

I did just that last weekend, taking advantage of gorgeous weather to photograph two stories: one on Wagon Train Lake and one on tanking, with this stop on the Elkhorn River. Not only was I blessed with cool weather, but I had good light on both ends of the day. I love it when a plan comes together.

It looks like there’s more great weather on tap this weekend. If you don’t have plans to get out, you’d better make some. Who knows … we might be sweating through the typical 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity next weekend.

See you out there.
