Artist: Patrick Zephyr, photography

Patrick was a nature lover as a child and that passion only grew stronger as he later turned nature photography into his full-time profession.

I think the following excerpt from Patrick’s website sums up his goal as a photographer:

His hope is that in viewing his photographs, people will be inspired to slow down, explore and learn about the wild places around them and appreciate the beauty in the natural world that surrounds them in their everyday lives.

So, take a pause in your day, enjoy the photos below, and begin to find the hidden beauty in nature around you.
