The following photos are amongst my favourites taken in 2025. (Some of the photos have been featured in my blog earlier this year). 2025 proved to be another great year for nature photography with travel to Guatemala, Belize, Nunavut, Greenland and a short trip to the Yukon Territory. Each time I head out with my camera, I wonder what I will encounter. I am often pleasantly surprised. The key to successful nature photography is to get out, often! I hope 2026 will prove to be as satisfying. Wishing all who view this blog a healthy and happy 2026!
