Cool Nature Photos

[Fuddy1952]

Thanks. I always liked and have islands around yard with about six bushes and trees each, plus flower bulbs. So there's almost always something in bloom. We put pine needles down but all those leaves are from a nearby maple, yellow leaves.
Growing up grandparents next door my grandmother was really into flowers, trees, etc. One flower I wish I knew what was she planted would bloom at night! It was from memory a fairly large bush maybe 5ft tall, yellow flowers I'm thinking 5 petals maybe 2.5" across. They traveled a lot and planted lots of unique things.

Never thought about it. Always figured publications like that are getting bombarded with photos much better than mine all the time.

Much better? I wouldn't say that at all. Your pics are definitely a contender for nat geo.

Not a picture but nature. Chum salmon trying to get through a beaver dam.

If at first you don't succeed; try, try again.

Went to shoot the sunrise this morning (turned out to be a bust). Snapped this with my phone while my good camera was on my tripod. The little buggers floated right up to me.

That doesn't look like a nature shot. I try to avoid places like that.

Showed it to my daughter from Pittsburg. She gave it a :thumbsup:

And I'm pretty sure I've been almost in that same exact spot a couple times, too.

Based on the amount of goose crap I had to avoid, you'd have thought you were in the wilderness.

If you ignore the entire middle third of the shot this could still be considered a nature photo.

Was that near the end of the circle by the stadium?

Pittsburg sure has some beautiful waterfront and skyline, that's for sure.

Only because it has 3 rivers and 6 shores to choose from!

And 446 bridges...

And yet there never seems to be one where you need it!
