Nature's Delight: Nature Photography Kindle Edition

I LOVE Nature. I feel at-ease and at-home in it. It is divine for me. I am a part as well as the whole of it.When I walk in nature daily, I have a fresh, fully present awareness or presence. I love being there effortlessly. Then, I forget myself. I have no agenda or expectations. I just watch attentively, what I come across. When I am present, everything is new. Nothing is old in nature. Everything is growing like a giant Tree of Life! Nature is vast like space or the ocean. It is self-generating, and self-organizing. It is a living biophysical universe. We are both parts and the whole of it. We need to realize this awesome wonder! We are a unified field of biophysical energy, awareness, and being. I realize this truth when I walk in nature at least twice a day, and even at other times.I have loved photography since my childhood. I love nature as well. I used to play for hours in the outdoors surrounding our house in a small town in India. I played as a child, with frogs, ants, lizards, cows, buffalo, goats, crows, sparrows, finches, dogs, deer, and of course, other kids of my age! I had a happy childhood. We did not have electricity or running water till I was in the ninth grade. But I never missed it, while I was growing up. Life can be just as beautiful, joyous, and meaningful without high technology.I used a variety of cameras that were available to me then. Starting with an Agfa Box camera to Kodak Retina Reflex IV, Nikon, Canon, and now Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. I loved all of them at different times. I thoroughly enjoyed the photographs that were produced. I learnt from my own experience and curiosity. I did not have any formal training or courses in Photography. It was just the passion for capturing nature in photographs from different perspectives.When I walk in nature, I instantly notice interesting and beautiful things. I pause and look closely. Then, I compose a picture like a beautiful painting or a piece of art. There is always something new and exciting. It always surprises me. Its beauty and wonder are endless. I never run out of subjects to photograph. Nature is boundless, beautiful and awesome. That's why I love it and I am quite happy, being in it. I could spend hours in a natural place, exploring, learning, and just being there!To me, being in nature is divine. I feel happy, peaceful and fulfilled in it. I always carry my cell phone on my walks. If I notice something fascinating, I photograph it or take a video of it. I share my photographs and videos almost daily with my family, friends, and neighbors. Thousands of them have appreciated them. They say, it made them calm and peaceful. It made their day. So many of my neighbors and friends have written to me or told me in person about it.So, I decided to publish my collection of nature photographs out of love and gratitude. I have decided to share about ten photos of nature from each month of the year, from January to December. That way, the changing seasons are visible and appreciated. I hope you will enjoy this unique personal book.With kind regards,Vinod D Deshmukh MD, PhD, DSc.February 26, 2025 Read more
