Post Your Best Nature Shots!

Interesting shots everyone.
Sedwards, I'm sure glad to see you still posting. David, well done on the documentary!

David, that seems to be a rather large and colorful leech.

a few bear pics from the roadside on my last hunting trip.

Sedwards...until now, I had only seen those shots on my iPhone....which wasn't doing the bear justice. #1 and #2 are great.

So, I spent the past weekend in North and South Carolina to see some of my wife's family. Good trip for photography. I had no idea that North Carolina was so good for waterfalls. This was the first we stopped at...Looking Glass Falls just off the road near Brevard, NC in the Pisgah National Forest.

Thanks for viewing....Brant

Just catching up with all the shots I've missed over the last few weeks. I enjoyed David's frog lifecycle and Brant's long exposures at the falls.

The bees are getting active now that the sun is out.

Brant - like all 3, but #2 is my favorite with the falls and the stream below.

Andy - Great colors with that one.

Here are few deer I managed to get while kayaking.

Two great shots Pat!

I am still going through my shots from the North Carolina waterfalls. I got to these two this morning.

Thanks Brant.

I really like your first one... the detail of the rapids is great.

Thanks Pat.

Below will finish off the Waterfalls from the trip to North Carolina. This is Eastatoe Falls near Brevard NC. It is actually on private property, and you park at the owners house. I can't thank them enough for sharing this waterfall and not keeping it to themselves.
