Please post your Nature Pictures here.

Hi Everyone,

I thought it would be fun for the Nature Lovers here to share your outdoor photos of beautiful scenery, wildlife or just critters, pets and/or flowers in your gardens with a description about your photos.

Let’s have some fun and keep this thread going

You are welcome to come back as often as you like and post your nature pictures.

I will go first.

I love photographing the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, as well as the flowers in my garden:

Photo 1
Ruby just loves to show off



Photo 2
Ruby and the Cardinal ‘Lobelia’ Flower



Photo 3
Japanese Anemone ‘September Charm’ Flower



I am looking forward to seeing what you all will be sharing here.

I thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.
Have a great day.

Wow. Those are some stunning photos. Pic #2 is exceptional! It's amazing how you captured the hummingbirds wings! What brand of camera and lenses do you shoot with? The colors and depth of field are amazing!!

Great pics! I am trying to learn to shoot underwater and it is quite difficult. Here are a few.

Mr. Mallard and Seagulls...

Photo 1

Even though Mr. Mallard is considered a common duck, I consider them special. I love their glittery green face as well as their orange feet :)



Photo 2
Their feet are so cute



Photo 3
Seagulls are kind of cute too



Photo 4
Seagull flying



I am so enjoying all your photos - please keep them coming

Awesome pics OP. I enjoy photography as a hobby, mostly travel and landscape. The pics you've captured are all about the person behind the camera, equipped with the right gear. If I had your rig I'd end up with a bunch of poorly focused bird parts at the edge of the frame!

Awesome posts guys. Just picked up a D3300 kit and went to Rock City yesterday. Tried a one image RAW HDR of the falls. I plan on upgrading the glass though.

Thank you very much... I do call them "mine", and even though they're technically not MINE, my wife and I "adopted" them so to speak. So, their mine



We did get to foster 3 Pekins for a lil while, that was really fun, A LOT of work though.



Your pix are spectacular, and Mallards are awesome!!!

Thanks, I was guessing... It was on the Gulf if that helps. It was such a cool looking bird, he/she was like 3' tall walking the beach. I watched it for like 30 mins.

*side note, not my house :-(

Yes, they are both Great Blue Heron's. Similar to the Grey Heron found in Europe and Asia.
