Take only photos and leave only footprints. That motto of the conservation movement expresses the sentiment that we can enjoy nature without impacting her ecosystems. Furthermore, photography offers a means of capturing the beauty of her landscapes, flora and fauna for a variety of purposes: to promote conservation, to educate, to encourage tourism and to document our travels, among others.
In that spirit, I will add a Guest Nature Photo to this blog, beginning today. I am fortunate to have visited many parts of North America and a few other regions of our magnificent planet but I hope to enlist others in providing photos of their home environment. In the course of any given month, Nature's Blog attracts visitors from all 50 U.S. States and from at least 60 other countries; hopefully, many of those visitors will share photos of their native landscape and/or wildlife with the rest of us.
Please submit your photo (jpg format preferred) to rfolzenlogen@gmail.com; photos will be published in the order that they are received (assuming their content is appropriate for this blog). While you will be credited for the photo, I cannot offer reimbursement and will not use the photo to advertise specific businesses or equipment. Thanks in advance for sharing your nature photos with the readers of Nature's Blog.
