Laura Weishaupt Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 <blockquote> <p><strong>Basic Guidelines</strong>: Nature based subject matter. Please, declare captive subjects. Keep your image at/under 700 pixels on the long axis for in-line viewing and try to keep file size under 300kb. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site at Flicker, Photobucket, your own site, etc. Feel free to link your image to a larger version. <strong><em>In the strictest sense, nature photography should not include hand of man elements.

Color abounds in woodlands with birds in breeding plumage and wild flowers. If you don't have to dodge a tornado, this is an easy time to be out with cameras. We'll dive right in this week. Wild geraniums, columbines, and woodland phlox are in abundance throughout the forest. They are impossible to leave alone and easy to get lost in. Toss in a rain shower and they each become a small work of art.</p> <p>All of nature is art when we frame it up and hang it on a wall in a room called Monday in Nature. Have a great day, everyone.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justthings Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 <p>Out for a walk over the weekend and came across an area where there were dozens of turtles languishing on logs in the water. This was just one of them.</p> <p><a title="Lone turtle" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/outwithmycamera13/26408801574/in/dateposted-public/" data-flickr-embed="true"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7721/26408801574_d9752ebc1e_z.jpg" alt="Lone turtle" width="640" height="473" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Currie Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 <p>The back yard is full of wrens. What they lack in size and plumage they make up in song and then some. Fast and hard to catch even when they're all around you. </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
