Welcome back to another one of my blogs! There have always been times when you go somewhere and you see a breathtaking view. Typically, what I do is take a picture, which is another one of my hobbies. I feel like photography and nature go hand in hand. Furthermore, I only like to take photos of nature. I hate taking portrait pictures! Anyways, without further ado, let’s talk about the times I have been mesmerized by the beauty of nature.
Different Seasons
The pictures below were taken by me, both at different seasons. The top photo was taken during the fall season in October. And the bottom one, pretty evident, was taken in the winter in January. What I find truly fascinating is that the same place, same trees look so different in two different seasons. Each has a beauty of its own. The season’s warmth can be felt in the top picture; on the other hand, the cold is also pretty apparent at the bottom. The same place can look so different just after a couple of months. I was also twenty-five minutes late to class because of the second picture. So Professor Safran, if you are reading this, now you know why.

Sky
I am a big fan of the sky. I have taken thousands of pictures of the sky. Something about it that really fascinates me. The vastness and the blue color have the ability to bring peace to a person’s heart. This picture is one of my best, and I have waited hours in the middle of a thunderstorm just to take this. I feel like the image portrays two versions of the sky at the same time. The lightning completely lighted up one part. Even though it was after sundown, the first part of the picture looks otherwise. On the other hand, the second part showcases a violent thunderstorm during nighttime. I find it quite amusing how this picture holds both ideas together.

Excuse the quality. My phone wasn’t the best at that time!
Birds
I have another fascination with birds flocking and flying together in the sky. I stood in the middle of a sidewalk for 45 minutes with my phone pointed towards the sky just to get the perfect shot. Although it’s far from perfect, I feel it portrays the idea. I find the birds’ flying quite majestic, and it’s a beautiful sight to see. The birds flying so high up in the sky depicts freedom; I know it sounds cliche, but this is one of those things. No matter how cliche it sounds, it’ll never stop being true.
The pictures I have taken throughout the years showcase my passion for photography and nature. Nature motivates me to pursue this hobby, and I find myself lucky to have two hobbies that complement each other so much. I would like to hone my photography skills more in the future, witness more beauties of nature, and use it as fuel.
