Natural Moments of 2012

Below find a selection of favorite shots from 2012. Some were taken On A Roll and others on outings where I did not see an On A Roll candidate or already had an image of a similar subject. Whatever the case, these are a few natural moments that spoke to me. 

Enjoy!

An article in today's Clarion Ledger provided scientific proof of something many of us have already known for years.

Titled "Study: Spending Time in Nature Helps Creativity," the article recapped the results of a scientific study by psychologists at the University of Utah and University of Kansas. The study showed that people who spent time in nature, disconnected from all of their electronic devices, scored 50 percent higher on creativity tests. The article went on to explain that the negative effects of "being in front of a computer all day, every day can be offset by spending time in nature."

If too much time spent on your computer, in front of the TV, or staring at your iPad has left you feeling a little drained and weary, give yourself an extra gift this holiday season. Spend some time outdoors.

I hope the photos below will remind you what's out there waiting if you'll take the time to enjoy it.  

Merry Christmas.

Last week I was in Stuttgart, AR for the 77th World Championship Duck Calling contest. Even though most of my time was spent with Muddy Water Camo promotion, I just had to get out and shoot since so many geese were arriving early. Here are a select few.
