THE ART AND BEAUTY OF NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY --- A CLOSE LOOK OF OUR NATURE WORLD
By: Fely  Sorensen



"Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty."---Albert Einstein


According to definition, nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. Nature can refer to the general realm of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects – the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord, such as the weather and geology of the Earth. It is often taken to mean the natural environment or wilderness or –wild animals, rocks, forest, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention.


The art of photography is more than a visual art in a sense that taking images of our nature world is an internal appreciation of balance, harmony and beauty.


 In photography, the sky is the limit. You can take images not just from your travels but almost everywhere around us.  The beauty of taking images is the enjoyment and freedom to explore photographic art possibilities and documenting memories in that moment of time.


We, humans are part of nature, and like every other species on the planet, we depend upon healthy ecosystems for our survival. Nature provides us essentials like clean water, food, medicines, even recreational retreats. All of us are part of a miraculous web of life interconnected with Mother Earth.


These images may encourage viewers to appreciate the beauty of our planet Earth and to celebrate each moment that we're out in nature. 

These images may serve viewers to inspire and raise awareness to protecting wildlife and the environment, and have respect for nature in all of its wonder and significance.


Spring, summer, fall, and winter- each season comes to us in each quarter of the year. Each has their own individual environment, but they each share something in common. They carry a unique, sometimes hidden beauty about them.

Survival Mode

  • Annual plants are so called because their life cycles extend for only one year; these plants do not go through dormancy. Perennials, however, die out and go dormant to survive the cold winters. The perennial plants shed their leaves and shut down the growth process; otherwise, their tender appendages would freeze and die during winter.

In colder climates, most plants die out, or go dormant, during the winter months. This period of rest is critical to the plant's survival. With the onset of winter's cold, the plant undergoes hormonal and cellular changes that cause it to shrink back into the soil for protection
