"Nature Photography's Year"

In "Nature Photography's Year" it talks about the perfect locations to go to according to the weather and the wildlife. In January the best place to go to see wildlife would be California's coast that is between Monterey and San Luis Obispo. Some of the wildlife that you might be able to see would be; elephant seals, monarch butterflies, and the majestic redwood trees.
February would be the month to go to South Florida for photography. Some locations that would be a great place to shoot would be the Everglades National Park and Bowman's Beach on the Sanibel Islands is a great place. Some of the wildlife that can be seen there would be turtles, alligators, and herons. During the month of March the perfect place to shoot would be the Grand Canyon. This national park provides a lot for photographers including beautiful sunsets and dramatic skies. For the month of April you should visit Texas. If you love wildflowers than Texas is the place to take pictures. You should take pictures at the Vancouver Islands during the month of May. At the Vancouver Islands you can take pictures of the beaches at Pacific Rim National Park where the sea lions and orcas like to hang out. In the month of June the place to be to photograph would be the Badlands National Park located in South Dakota. There they have many tourists attractions including the Wind Caves and Custer State Park. July is the perfect month to see the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado with its colorful granite and sandstone rocks. Mount Rainier National Park is the place to be in August. Because, that is when the wildflowers are coming out and when the creeks, waterfalls, and rivers are really flowing. The month of September is the perfect month to photograph Yellowstone and the Tetons National Parks. At these National Parks you can photograph the geysers and abundant wildlife. The Smoky Mountains is the place to go in October where you can photograph the giant forests. If you ever want to go to New Mexico than Bosque Del Apache is the place to go for photographers especially in November when the birds are migrating. Some of the birds include sandhill cranes and snow geese. Finally, Maui, Hawaii would be the location to be in December especially for the filming of their waterfalls and landscape photography.

For more information I would highly recommend the book, "Nature Photography" written by, Tim Fitzharris.
