top five nature photography outings of 2015

i really got into nature photography this year and it quickly became one of my favorite things to do.  i thought it would be hard to pick five favorites, but actually it was not.  there were five epic moments that really stood out to me immediately.  the first one i thought of was this early morning in the mist.  just wow.

and then there was that time that i encountered a hummingbird in the wild.

i was so psyched to finally encounter the elusive tennessee monarch.

there was that one time that g and i went to washington d.c. by ourselves.

and that little piece of paradise that i found in florida this past october.

gatlinburg fall foliage: part three

i took these photos in gatlinburg on november 1st.  it was overcast all weekend, so i didn't expect much from the photos.  i was blown away when i uploaded them.  nature is amazing.  normally when i have too many good pics for one post i'll try to categorize them into different posts.  not this time.  this time i decided to just share them in three posts exactly in the order in which they were taken. sometimes you jut have to let nature tell her own story in her own way.  enjoy.
