📸🌿 Happy Nature Photography Day!

A friendly reminder:

Nature photography means taking pictures of wildlife... not becoming part of the wildlife's meal plan.

If your photo requires you to pet the bison, hug the bear, ride the moose, or recreate a scene from Tiger King, you've wandered out of the photography category and into the poor decision-making category.

Enjoy the outdoors, respect wildlife, and remember: if the animal notices you enough to pose for a selfie, you're probably too close.

Now show us your best Nature picture ⬇️
