In honor of World Photography Day, I take the opportunity to share my enthusiasm for photography through a few of my own personal photograph favorites that I have taken throughout my travels.

As a travel blogger, I concentrate on nature photography i.e., animals, bees, bugs, butterflies, insects, and all other things in nature. And, since I am a foodie, I also take food photographs from places I go and travel.

Please visit my Instagram Gallery: http://www.instagram.com/virginiabrownwright to look at a few of my personal favorites. I update as nature allows. Give me some love (Heart) if you like a photo, and I’d love to have you follow me.

Enjoy!
-Virginia
