Nature will bear the closest inspection.  She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.  ~Henry David Thoreau

From now on, I will be posting one of my best photographs of nature every day, for each day of the week! 
Today, if you can, try and go out and really appreciate the beauty of nature.

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.  ~Kahlil Gibran

Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful.  Everything is simply happy.  Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance.  Look at the flowers - for no reason.  It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.  ~Osho

Nature Photos

3 of My Best Photos

Yesterday, I entered these photographs along with an article to 'Our Canada' magazine. In my opinion, these are three of my prize-winning photos. The article was entitled 'Nature's Harmony', and it talked about how my passion for nature photography developed at a young age and how I continue to enjoy it now, at 14.


"I have always had a deep connection with nature. Ever since I could walk, I’ve been climbing trees, catching butterflies, running through fields, and spending hours hiking through the woods with my family. Nature speaks with a language that my soul understands, and, growing up, having reverence for nature has always been a common belief in my family. "
