Every year we look forward to returning to the Smokies to visit our favorite little rare flowers. The yellow lady slippers have always been at the top of that list. This year, one of the main patches that always has several blossoms were all picked off We did find this one lone survivor though, ...

The days are long but they are worth every moment. Remembering to stop to breathe and enjoy for even ten seconds will reset you.#nikon #3ltpro #thinktankphoto #thinktankpro #waterfall #northcarolina #waterfallphotography

This morning's sunrise in @greatsmokynps It looked to be totally socked in, but for a few seconds here and there the wind would blow to reveal happy little trees. So grateful to share this with our workshop group this week.@nikonusa @3leggedthing @thinktankphoto @hoodmanusa

The pictures are fun, but the experience was indescribable. I will certainly edit many photos, but I wanted to pick one quick one to post today. This caugh...

Enjoying the light and skies in @deathvalleynps !!

Continuing to dig through the endless files of unedited images that I created last year... here are a few final shots from our time in @bigbendnps last year. Big Bend has by far given us the most numerous beautiful skies of all the parks weve visited..@nikonusa @bigbendnps @3leggedthing @hoodmanusa

Yes, its true, we missed Colorado Fall Colors this year! But guess what? Ive been so busy that I never even edited my images from last year. I have been loving reliving this sunrise from last year. One of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring sunrises Ive seen.

Heres a little waterfall to start your weekend right!!.#waterfalls #waterfallphotography #coloradolife #coloradogram #coloradotography #waterfalllovers #mandyleaphoto #nikon #nikonusa
