What a spectacular evening ๐คฉ
It was magical from the beginning, then *kind of frightening* with an unexpected storm, then straight back to magical again. Mind you, I had checked the weather report 57 times in the morning, and it had shown clear weather every single time! ๐
On the drive to the lake I stopped for a family of 5 deer to cross the road, including 3 fawns. So sweet! By the time I arrived, a storm was rolling in with lightning strikes in the distance. Although unnerving, it was quite cinematic. I thought we would actually avoid the storm. Alas ๐
I got to meet this absolutely gorgeous Dalmatian named Noble, and I was SO excited to get to photograph with Tarin. We got to shoot for only 5 minutes before the apocalyptic storm unleashed its fury, only to give way to the most beautiful conditions 45 minutes later- fog drifting across the lake, a rainbow, and lightning illuminating the pink clouds in the distance. There was also cinematic fog shrouding the roads on the drive back for good measure โจ
I love Oregon. Sigh. And I love Dalmatians, mountains, photography, taking chances, and generally being just very chalant ๐ฏ
