Backyard play during a break in my workday, I wandered outside to capture the blooms on my dogwood tree only to find this handsome little fella just hanging out, posing just for me🐝🌸#NaturePhotography #shotoncanon #macrophotography #nature #dogwood #bee #spring – at Sacramento, CA

On a wet winter afternoon in Yosemite, thick swirling fog could be found throughout the park along water tributaries and tree lines. The sun was just beginning to break through and render the fog in golden light in this scene of Cascade Creek #NaturePhotography #woodland #mood

Release the Kraken!! On the rugged coast of Madeira, there is a rocky location where the waves slap against each other and shoot vertically up in the air.#Portugal #seascape #madeira #landscapephotography #NaturePhotography – at Carmichael, CA

A Christmas morning walk in Armstrong Redwoods, a beautiful area of giant coastal redwoods and lush green ferns. The fog was just beginning to burn off and provided an ethereal mood with dramatic beams of sunlight in the forest. #NaturePhotography #forest #California #CanonFavPic – at Carmichael, CA

Wishing everyone a rejuvenating and festive holiday season! This image of an early frost blanketing the diverse woodland of the Smokies represents the stillness and quiet of the season that I so appreciate #NationalPark #landscapephotography #nature #NaturePhotography – at California, USA

A rare phenomenon of suspended particles of ice crystals that delicately covered the trees at the highest elevations of the Great Smoky Mountains NP. The frozen fog that clung to the woodland emphasized the forest’s intricate layers and textures #landscapephotography #Tennessee – at Carmichael, CA

How about a little bit of waterfall for your #WaterfallWednesday I loved the glow of the golden autumn foliage in what I consider to be just a classic Smokies scene #NaturePhotography #Tennessee – at Carmichael, CA

The richness & diversity of Smoky Mountains NP is so inspiring! The bright yellow of the leaves tricked the camera into rendering the dark shadows in the background in a rich, vibrant blue that I quite liked for an autumnal Skittles candy effect #autumn #NaturePhotography #fall – at Carmichael, CA

In mid-morning, the sunlight hits Upper Yosemite Fall just beautifully, while the background granite is in dark shadow. Using the telephoto from the popular turnout along Southside Drive, I was able to capture the swallows that feed over the water in flight. #yosemite #waterfall – at Tennessee, USA
