Natural Nature

My dad loves nature photography. He has taken countless sunset, flower, bird and landscape photos.  I never really understood the allure of nature photography until I had my own camera and tried my hand on it. I am surprised to find that I really do enjoy it- the hunting for a great photo op, the composing as shot and adjusting the settings to optimize nature's beauty. As a busy mom, I really enjoy the quiet of nature photography. Nearly every picture I take of my kids requires a lot of energy. Nature photography requires the photographer to seek out peace.  So here are a few nature shots I've taken recently. Most of these were actually taken with my cell phone!  If you're reading this and like what you see, feel free to favorite my shop on Etsy.
