Dive deep into the tranquility of nature.

Nature, the space uninhabited by man. A place to enjoy peace and untouched beauty. Remember those moments through the art of photography. Little pieces of time captured in a split second to remain for eternity.

Explore the places never seen and look at the everyday places like you’ve never been. Look farther into the trees, gaze into the brush, feel the grass, look closer into the still water, be still and listen, observe the small creatures. Witness nature all around you like you never have before.

“Allow nature to teach you stillness” -Eckhart Tolle

Pause and Take a breath.

Pause and get to know the wild animals. Observe them. Listen. Respect them and their homes. They are all God’s creatures. If you watch them, you will see little personalities that are all different. It’s quite a site to see.

Teach your children about nature and they will grow up respecting all the little things. Take them on nature trails. Teach them about the animals. Make memories that will last forever.

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” -Jane Goodall

There is nothing more exhilarating than chasing a storm and trying to catch something so intense on camera.

Lightening does in fact strike the same place twice!

“THE ARTIST SEES WHAT OTHERS ONLY CATCH A GLIMPSE OF.”

–LEONARDO DA VINCI

Photography teaches you to slow down and enjoy life little moments to the fullest.

The more I photograph insects the more I realize how much they look like tiny little cartoon characters. They have such cute little faces.

If you’ve never experienced a goose migration, I suggest you do so. Geese come in by the thousands. You can hear their wings roaring as they all beat in unison as they come in for a landing. They look like a giant mighty funnel cloud. They are all honking to communicate with each other as they land. The whole experience can’t fully be described. You must witness it for yourself.

Photography has a way of turning time into magical little memories that allows those moment in time to be preserved forever and shared with the whole world.

Don’t just look straight ahead, look down amid the leaves. Look across the fields, and up into the sky. You never know what you might find.

“Which one of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.” -Imogen Cunningham

Nature is truly magical, but you have to slow down to really notice all it’s wonders. It is all around us. When you really start to pay attention to the details you will see things you didn’t know existed. I’ve become aware of birds and insects that I wasn’t aware of that are amazing little creatures. I’ve seen flowers I had never noticed before. As a child we always colored the grass green, the trees brown and green, and the sky blue but there are so many more colors there than that once we pay attention.
