My Top 16 Nature photos of 2016

Hello There,

Welcome to my very first Blog Post! Im so excited to start a Blog to showcase what I have going on in my Photography Life. 

Let me start by talking a little bit about myself. I have been photographing since I was about 8 years old. Before that I was busy studying images. My mom had this shoebox where she kept all our photographs, I remember climbing up on her bed and dumping the photographs and looking at all the memories and people. I loved looking at all the expressions and seeing relatives during the special moments in their lives. 

I received my first camera which was a disposable one, when I was around 8 years old. And thus my fate was sealed. Since then I have been photographing everything I could. Photography is my passion, I love photographing anything and everything. 

Since New Years is fast approaching, I decided to take a look back and showcase my Top 16 nature photographs of 2016. I was trying to narrow it down to 12 but decided not to because it was so hard to choose but I think I have a wide range of my personal favourites from this year. I hope you enjoy them and I wish you all a Happy New Year and a great 2017.

Frosted

I took this image in January 2016. I loved the contrast of the frost on the lonely tree and the darkness of the forest behind it. 

Sunday Morning

I took this image in early March, it was a foggy Sunday Morning and it was so peaceful out. Definitely a fun Sunday Morning.

Sunset Sparkles

I took this picture Easter Weekend. I remember how I waited all day to get this shot, finally the sun finally came out at around 4 or 5 pm just before sunset and I was able to get the shot I wanted.

Spring Silhouette

I took this picture in early May I believe, it was still cold out but I wanted to get the shot of this gorgeous tree just as the sun was going down. I made it Sepia because I wanted to make the tree more dramatic.

In Flight

This year our Choke Cherry Tree was gorgeous, this made the bees swarm. I am so happy with the way this image worked out. 

Siblings

Oh how cute the goslings were this year! I love the expression the one gosling on the left is giving to the gosling on the left. So cute.

Tranquility

I love how close I was able to get to this gorgeous creature. I like how its tongue is sticking out in the picture. So cheeky!

Thumper

This bunny was so cute to photograph. He came from a litter of 12. They were all so cute I wanted to take them all home.

Scotch Thistle

I love this image of how beautiful this thistle can be even if it is a nuisance to some people.  It must be my scottish heritage but I love it.

Pretty in Pink

This flower was an odd one to photograph. I took this at the end of September because I couldn't believe that it was still in bloom. 

Fall

This year the colours of Fall seemed to pop for me. I became obsessed with getting fall landscapes. I love the contrast of the clouds and the colours of the leaves.

Falling for Fall

I loved how this image turned out! The sky was so pretty against the leaves and the Barn was an added bonus. Definitely one of my favorite pictures ever. 

Chipper

This little friend built a house in the side of a hill near my house so it was fun watching him all summer frolic and jump. This is his profile picture before he ran into his home.

SuperMoon

Of course I had to include the supermoon image! I had so much fun going out in the middle of the night and photographing this beauty.

Snowy Day

I took this image after the first big snowfall of December 2016.

Winter Wonderland

This was after another snowstorm of December 2016. I loved the contrast of the sky against the trees. So pretty.
