“Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.” - Bertrand Russell ————————————————————— 🌸 🌺 Glad it’s summer and I can get out into the world and soak in some of that Vitamin D. 🌞 ☀️ + + + + + #WhiteFlower #GloomyBloom #DarkBeauty #MoodyFloral #EtherealBlooms #MonochromeFlower #MistyGarden #EnigmaticPetals #ShadowyBlossoms #PaleFloral #GhostlyGarden #MysteriousBloom #SombreFlower #WhimsicalGloom #DreamyFloral #WistfulBlooms #HazyPetals #MelancholicFlower #SereneGarden #EnchantingMonochrome #SubduedBlossoms #FoggyFloral #EnigmaticBeauty #GrimBlooms #SeraphicPetals #AshenFlower #MysticalGarden #WhisperingBlossoms #DriftingFloral #NebulousFlower

"Relaxation means releasing all concern and tension and letting the natural order of life flow through one's being." - Donald Curtis ————————————————————— Been a lovely summer so far! My son graduated Kindergarten and we’ve been taking lots of walks in the park with his brother and sister so I keep getting great opportunities to take unique shots of them and sweet pics of bugs and flowers with my macro lens I hardly get to use. 😊 Hoping to catch a concert or two with my camera this summer but also relax a lot more than I did last year. Feel like I’ve been going 200km/hr for the past 365 days. Oh yea, this is a ladybug! 🐞 + + + + + #NaturePhotography #Ladybug #OutdoorAdventures #ExploreMore #LadybugEdit #WildernessCulture #NaturePerfection #EarthVisuals #NatureSeekers #NatureAddict #NatureCaptures #NatureBeauty #NatureLovers #NatureShots #NatureGram #Naturescape #NatureObsessed #OutdoorPhotography #WildlifePhotography #NatureWalk #NatureBrilliance #NatureShotz #NatureMagic #NatureVibes #NatureCalm #NatureWanderlust #ExploreNature #NatureInspired #NatureHeals #NatureAppreciation

"The only way that we can live is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change." - C. JoyBell —————————————————— It’s been way too long since I’ve done any nature photography. Always have it mind, always end up relaxing at home on weekends off the day job and/or photographing for other people. It’s been an incredible year since I started doing event photography! + + + + + #NaturePhotography #MacroPhotography #BeePhotography #BeeLife #BeeLovers #BeeWorld #Beekeepers #InsectPhotography #NatureCloseUp #BuzzingBees #InsectLovers #FlowerPower #NatureCaptures #BuzzingBeauty #WildlifePhotography #ExploreNature #NaturesWonders #BeeHive #BeeHappiness #BuzzingAround #TinyWonders #CloseUpShot #InsectKingdom #MacroLove #BeeGarden #BuzzingCreatures #InsectWorld #BeekeepersLife #NatureMacro #BeeWings

That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected daystruck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns of flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day. —  Charles Dickens ———————————————————————— I dunno how to express a long satisfied sigh in text but that’s how I’m feeling. Year’s almost done and an amazing year it was. This is a picture of a flower I’ve been meaning to post for months. 😅 I saw it in Osoyoos! + + + + + #naturephotography #naturepic #naturephoto #naturepics #naturephotos #macro #macrophotography #macromood #flower #flowers #flowerphotography #amateurphotography #amateurphotographer #outdoor #outdoors #outdoorphotography #outdoorphotographer #closeup #green #zoomin #bugseyeview #macroworld #macrophoto #macronature #nature_perfection #nature_brilliance #nature_photo #nature_pics #nature_captures #nature_prefection

“I am convinced that material things can contribute a lot to making one's life pleasant, but, basically, if you do not have very good friends and relatives who matter to you, life will be really empty and sad and material things cease to be important. - David Rockefeller ——————————————————————- It’s been a nice, relaxing couple weeks with nothing to do so I’ve been able to take a few nice, relaxing walks in the park. Getting a bit chilly but I can’t complain; I’ll just wear a sweater. + + + + + #naturephotography #naturepic #naturephoto #naturepics #naturephotos #macro #macrophotography #macromood #caterpillar #caterpillarparty #caterpillars #amateurphotography #amateurphotographer #outdoor #outdoors #outdoorphotography #outdoorphotographer #ladybugs #green #ladybug #bugseyeview #macroworld #macrophoto #macronature #nature_perfection #nature_brilliance #nature_photo #nature_pics #nature_captures #nature_perfection

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. - Michael Jordan —————————————————————— I almost miss the good old days of last year when all I posted was flowers and trees with no expectations from anyone upon delivery. 😆 Almost. 🤏🏻 I had a crazy summer. Between July 1 and October 1 I worked a full time and a part time job through the weekdays, shot and edited photos every weekend and sometimes after work during the week and still had time leftover to have a memorable summer with my three kids and fiancée. 😊 So much to be grateful and thankful for. Met so many awesome and talented people. Accomplished and experienced more than I ever have, ever. I’ve been in a persistent state of awe and excitable panic for months and it’s been amazing! + + + + + #naturephotography #naturepic #naturephoto #naturepics #naturephotos #macro #macrophotography #macromood #flower #flowers #flowerphotography #amateurphotography #amateurphotographer #outdoor #outdoors #outdoorphotography #outdoorphotographer #closeup #green #zoomin #bugseyeview #macroworld #macrophoto #macronature #nature_perfection #nature_brilliance #nature_photo #nature_pics #nature_captures #nature_prefection

“If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.” — George Bernard Shaw ————————————————————————————— The mountains are my favourite thing to photograph. Nature is cool, but when it’s all flat and boring it’s no fun. I need cloudy, crazy skies and rolling hills and trees and animals and... + + + + + #mountain #mountains #mountainview #mountainscape #mountainscenery #explorebritishcolumbia #trees #treestreestrees #treescape #nature #naturephotography #naturephotos #naturephoto #naturepic #naturepics #landscape #landscapephotography #landscapes #outdoors #outdoorphotography #cloudy #clouds #cloudyday #roadtrip #passengerseat #passengerseatphotography #explorebc #explorecanada #outandabout #exploreosoyoos

“A holiday gives one a chance to look backward and forward, to reset oneself by an inner compass.” — May Sarton ————————————————————————————— I love the freedom of having a drone to fly wherever the hell I please (cough so long as I don’t get caught cough). I had a few moments feeling pretty trapped in the vicinity of my hotel so it was cool being able to take off and check out the scenery without having to leave. + + + + + #drone #drones #dronephotography #dronephoto #droneoftheday #dronepic #dronepics #droneporn #dronelife #dronestagram #droneshots #dronepointofview #lake #lakephotography #landbridge #birdseyeview #amateurphotography #amateurphotographer #amateurdronephotography #outforawalk #naturephotography #naturepic #naturephoto #outforawalk #straightdownphotography #straightdownphoto #lakephotography #naturephotographer #naturephotos #outdoorphotography

“Lack of something to feel important about is almost the greatest tragedy a man may have.” — Arthur Earnest Morgan ————————————————————————————— Forgot my memory card for this drone flight but got the low quality photo of this serene spot on my iPhone at least!

“Absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.” — Eric Hoffer ————————————————————————————— Lightning Lakes was an amazing break from the drive back from Osoyoos. The scenery was incredible! Didn’t get to stay long but long enough to fly my drone around and let the kids jump in the water a bit. + + + + + #nature #naturephotography #naturepic #naturephoto #naturepics #naturephotos #droneporn #dronephoto #dronepics #dronelife #mountain #mountains #mountainlovers #lake #lakephotography #bythelake #dronephotography #beach #drone #beautifulday #explorebc #explorefraservalley #explorecanada #explorebritishcolumbia #manningpark #aerialview #amateurphotography #amateurphotographer #blueskies #summertime

“My goal is simple. It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.” — Stephen William Hawking ——————————————————————————— Loved watching the people on the lake in Osoyoos boating around and having an awesome time. The kids kinda kept us landlocked but I swear I’m renting a boat next time we stay lakeside again. + + + + + #nature #naturephotography #naturepic #naturephoto #naturepics #naturephotos #outdoor #outdoorphotography #outdoors #outdoorphoto #mountain #mountains #mountainlovers #lake #lakephotography #bythelake #boats #beach #beachvibes #beautifulday #explorebc #exploreosoyoos #explorecanada #explorebritishcolumbia #takeabreak #takeahike #amateurphotography #amateurphotographer #blueskies #vacation

“If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming you ... The world will be yours and everything in it; what's more, you'll be a man, my son.” — Rudyard Kipling ——————————————————————- Took a lovely trip put to Osoyoos and took a few photos. A couple drone shots and a handful of mountains shot on my new 100-400mm with some macro shots peppered throughout. Will be posting them throughout the next few days. 😊 + + + + + #drone #dronephotography #dronelife #dronepilot #dronephoto #droneoftheday #droneshots #droneporn #dronepic #dronedaily #birdseyeview #fromupabove #skyhigh #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #naturephotos #naturepic #naturepics #outdoor #outdoors #outdoorphotography #explorebc #explorebritishcolumbia #okanagan #okanaganlife #okanaganvalley #osoyoos #exploreosoyoos
