Lightning storms such as this come and go so quick, so here are the few clips I got of the one that came by not too long ago! I would've loved to make a long-form video for a storm like this, but I wasn't well equipped at the time, plus it only lasted so much as this long anyways! I hope you all enjoy regardless; I had the most giddy smile on my face recording this, storms like this are my favorite! Cheers to all my storm enthusiasts out there (:

After reflecting on one of my favorite blue heron photos, I realized I had to come right back to this location to capture the beautiful sights and sounds of this hidden pond right on the roadside! Sometime the most beautiful places are hidden right beneath our noses!

This was a small but lucky clip I got of this beautiful pair of trumpeter swans gracefully meandering about their pond and singing! Accompanied by the background birdsong, I thought this was a beautiful, yet shortly sweet, clip!

These gentle falls ere are wedged right into one of my favorite hiking trails. Still in the early morning with the fog setting before a storm, this was truly a serene sight and very peaceful!

Here we have another serene, peaceful view of Lake Erie's coastline, on a beautifully clear skied day!

Just like how birds love to play in their little bird baths, ducks and all sorts of other wildlife also have their playful moments and it is adorable!

Trying to feed my neighborhood birds can be a hassle with greedy little critters like this guy around! He's lucky he's super adorable!

Here we are with more beautiful bird ambience for our lovely audience to study, sleep, or go about any of your daily tasks with!! I thoroughly enjoyed capturing the sounds of our beautiful birds and I look forward to going out into forest again to hear all these beautiful songs! Enjoy!

So, quite obviously I cannot use this video for one of my more traditonal "relaxation" extended videos, but the storm at Lake Erie was so incredible that I had to share it to some capacity! The winds were so strong that I could hardly keep myself standing and my tripod was quaking! It was an incredible sight, the waves were amazing!
