If you can't tell by the title, I decided to focus on nature with this post.

Most of these came from 2015, but there are a few from 2017.  

Enjoy the loveliness that is nature and plant life.

These two were taken at the A Street duck pond in Midland, TX.  These photos show how nature can be in the middle of a city.  This is illustrated with the second photo, where the duck pond is seen with downtown Midland in the background.

These photos come from the Weeping Willow park in Midland, TX.  The first two are weeping willows and the last are a tree that broke in a storm.  I love the final photo because I had to lie prone in wet grass to get the shot, shooting through the hole created by the tree.

These two were taken off the side of the road in Coke County, TX on a trip between Midland and Austin.  While I love the greenery of Austin, there is something fun about the west Texas desert.

This is more of a snapshot, but I was on the side of the road in Llano and I can never turn down a chance to shoot the blue bonnets.

Here is another blue bonnet.  This one is outside outside of Zilker Park in Austin.

These are taken from the Faust Bridge in New Braunfels, TX.  I am looking down at the Guadalupe river.  The last four are series of shots I took of this bird flying from a rock that was being beat by the waters.

These two where taken in the wooded area under the Faust Bridge in New Braunfels. 

I love This photo.  This silhouette was taken of the blooms from a tree in my apartment complex.  I thank taking it as a silhouette makes the shot.

Are you stumped as to why I would include this...Well, I thought it was cool, so I took a shot of it.

I hope you have enjoyed these nature photos.  I'm sure this will not be the only time I post nature photos.  But this is enough for now as I'm going to sit outside and watch the sunrise.

Cheers,
