Nature is truly amazing and I'd like to enter this Amazing Nature Contest with a few of my favorite nature shots, though it was very difficult making the decision on what to choose. In addition to providing the photos, we are tasked in this contest with itinerating what nature means to us and how the photographs relate.
This first photo was taken from my own front porch, leaning down over the porch railing and snapping this beautiful butterfly on my butterfly bush. It amazes me how perfectly aligned the features of nature can be - that this bush produces this particular flower that is specifically attractive to this creature. And then look at how nature arranges the colorings on the butterfly to make him fit into his environment. I appreciate how the different ecosystems relate to each other.
This photo pictures nature in one of her more virulent forms - a tornado! Living in the midwest, this is the side of nature that we see when nature is on the warpath. No matter what area you live in, there is some form of nature's fury to contend with. From hurricanes, to earthquakes, to mudslides, to volcanoes, to tidal waves, to out-of-control forest fires, she will make her presence known in ways that overshadow man's ability to interfere.
And my final photo shows the absolutely astounding beauty that Mother Nature can provide for us. This was taken at the Garden of the Gods in southern Illinois and it's one of my all-time favorite places to commune with nature. I have sat on the head of the Camel Rock and found it an excellent spot to put things in perspective.
What a fabulous entry my dear friend.
As a naturist for want of a better word, it please me immensely to see quality photos by other members on steemit.
Your details are also clear and concise.
Good luck in the contest!
Blessings!

Looks like a pack of camels that last stone picture. Is IL part of Tornado alley? I know Tennessee is, not sure the entire lane.
The name of that formation is Camel Rock! I don't know if my area is actually part of tornado alley - but we get our fair share of them. That one is the picture was 40 miles from my house, but I happened to be at Litchfield Lake that day and it came up all the sudden.
Not often one gets to grab a shot of those!
Amazing photos @blueeyes8960 good luck with your entries. 🤞

That tornado photo!!!
That must have been quite scary with the wind gushing around you. Some part of me wishes to see something like that someday. And obviously a part of me doesn't.. But that feeling of witnessing something so spectacular.
Either way beautiful photos
Yes, nature is amazing when it's scary and when it's mild. You have shown these aspects of her very beautifully.
Beauty of butterflies little to add, most definitely attracted to certain flowers and colour of flowers ironically.
Nature moving along with vengeance, a superb piece of photography, right place, right time Tammy.
Seeing rock formations of different regions another wonderful photo looking out into the distance @blueeyes8960 good luck in contest.
Great post !! .. I really would like to go to the Garden of the Gods one day .. sitting on that camel head must be sooo breathtaking ^^
Beautiful nature photography!
Amazing that you caught that tornado like that! Would that not be the time you are seeking shelter?
And the Garden of the Gods - absolutely stunning! I can see why you go there to commune with nature!
Good luck in the photo contests - you've got some wonderful photos there!
