August was a month of firsts. I watched a baby come into the world and photographed his birth. My daughter learned to ride a bike. We saw a nearly total solar eclipse.
The wonder of it all: a baby takes his first breath, my daughter learns a new skill, the magic of the earth and our solar system. As a photographer one of my greatest joys is capturing memories from that moment in time, because it all seems to pass by so quickly. The older I get the more I appreciate how ephemeral life really is.

But on the last day of August a bit of rain fell in the morning, a reminder summer is coming to an end. I watched as an Anna’s Hummingbird sat on our trellis and stuck his out his tongue to catch the raindrops knowing fall is just around the corner.
