I don’t know about you, but when I think nature photography one of the first things that pops into my head, along with daggy landscapes with water motion, is National Geographic which, for the record, is anything but daggy. See by exhibit A. above for example. Super cute!

This was National Geographic’s photo of the day on July 28th, and there’s plenty more where that came from. Thought I’d share a few of my absolute favourites from recent times, but if were you I’d go see for myself and choose your own, download as desktops and fill your screen with incredible nature inspired photog.Do it!

As the name suggests, there’s a new one daily, but then again, you knew that because you’re not idiots!
