"The North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA) along with millions of photographers and photography lovers across the nation observe Nature Photography Day on June 15th. Nature lovers and photographers alike celebrate this day with enthusiasm. They capture the breath-taking beauty all around us and encourage others to see the wonders of our natural Earth. Whether they take photos of wildlife, landscapes or both, the do so with a sense of awe. It’s in the spirit of preservation of these wonders that NANPA created the celebration. Every image that inspires us to care for our surroundings and preserve it for future generations celebrates the day."
My notes: Who likes taking nature pictures? While I don't do it that often, I prefer to just live in the Now, we do take some from time to time especially to send to family.

I have some nice snaps. I have not posted them, but will use it on my computer. Not much into sharing on Facebook. It would have fetched a lot of likes.

I like taking pictures, especially of nature and wildlife. I took a picture of a Pileated Woodpecker at our suet feed that was very close up. You could almost count all the feathers. It's my best nature picture for sure. And I took some of Chickadees landing on my hand and eating sunflower seeds I had for them in the winter. Very cool.

"On June 15th each year, National Smile Power Day shares one powerful expression. From the good morning greeting and the first “How may I help you?” present yourself with a smile. No matter where you are employed, job seeking, retired, or looking for new horizons starting the day with a smile is certainly more empowering than a pout or grump. Starting with a smile first is easier than trying to get there later in the day. When you smile at someone, you are telling them that they are valued and worth the smile that you just gave them. Smiles are morale boosters and confidence builders." My notes: Give someone a smile today!

"On the 15th of June, National Megalodon Day teaches us about the most massive shark that ever lived! The Megalodon swam the Earth’s oceans for 20 million years during the Cenozoic Era. Their mouths spanned 8 to 11 feet wide and were filled with rows of sharp teeth. With a bite force of over 40,000 pounds per square inch, a maximum weight of over 60 tons, and serrated teeth measuring near 7 inches, their prey did not stand a chance."
My notes: Sources say that the Megalodon was 3 times the size of the Great White!

Has anyone tried eating shark? Yummy! Nope. Only "in the water" creatures I've eaten was fish i.e. tuna & tilapia. When have you had shark?
