Post a Beautiful Nature Pic!!!!

Such beautiful pictures being posted - I hope everyone is enjoying them as much as I am.

Today I thought I'd post a particularly beautiful sunrise picture to start the day.

Pretty cool; you can see the electricity reaching out looking for a path to ground and suddenly discharging itself as soon as one of the tendrils touches Earth.



That has to be one wicked fast speed camera to catch all that.

This use to be my favorite creek
for fishing when I lived in Ky.

This is a footbridge I would love to visit someday.

Location: Ramona Falls, Mount Hood Wilderness, Oregon

Beautiful! I have been thru the Oregon wilderness -
amazing. Need to plan another trip.

I thought I'd post some pictures of one of my favorite places, Point Lobos State Reserve in California. Its located just couple miles south of Carmel, north of Big Sur.

To me the boat on the water has a very
soothing and comforting effect. Beautiful!

I remember the rainy morning I saw
this Autumn leaf laying on the hood
of my car, it had been raining and it
seemed to make a great background
for a simple leaf that was beautiful in
color and had amazing design. One
of those days I took the time to
enjoy an amazing gift of nature

You've shared a number of gorgeous pictures, thank you so much. The picture of the leaf on the metallic background of the car is truly stunning - thank you for sharing the story behind it, which made it all the more special.

Although this is a video, it contains some of the most stunning and breathtaking timelapse photography I have ever seen. Enjoy the Milky Way and surrounding beauty of El Teide, Spain’s highest mountain.

I seem to be attracted to ocean pictures the most, it must be the blue.
