nature lover

Watching someone else (or in this case my cat) enjoy nature is often a big draw for me. I have taken pictures of my dad hiking, or my husband looking at wildflowers. It's great to see others in their element. And it was no different the other day when our cat was allowed the rare opportunity to spend some time outside, soaking up the sun. We recently created a raised garden and added an area of flowers and grasses. The bees were buzzing around her and the scent of it all was enough to send her over the edge of happiness. I'm glad I was there to capture her moment of bliss.

Do you have a photo to share today of someone else enjoying the great outdoors?

My son is dying to learn how to surf. So he decided to try and use his skim board to surf. The results were not good, but I was blown away by his determination.

My friend Ali & I like to do girlfriend trips once a year or so. Last year, it was Half Moon Bay in California. Here she is enjoying the view, the wind and the ocean spray off the water as we stood high on the cliffs above.

This is how my son takes his dog for a walk... or she takes him.

I wish I could have a cat - love that photo. Here is my daughter leaping through the tall grass on the hillside near our home.

That is one happy looking kitty!

Today was Scott Kelby's Third Annual WorldWide Photo Walk. Our group met at at Jesse Jones Park in Humble, Texas. I took this picture of my friend photographing the scenic nature surrounding us.

I agree with you. Photos of nature can be stunning, but add a person or an animal, and the photo resonates in a different way.

I caught my friend Brad today in his nature element - shooting photos - on Scott Kelby's photo walk.

I use a photo of my nephew enjoying the sun on his face as the header photo at my blog. I feel so lucky to have caught him in that moment.
