Hi Nature Lovers,
What an incredible journey this has been.
Our Belonging in Nature Photo Contest has officially come to a close, and I am so grateful to everyone who took part and shared their perspective of the natural world.
From quiet forest paths and community gardens to fleeting footprints in the sand and unexpected moments of beauty, your photos reminded us that nature isn’t just somewhere we visit; nature is where we belong.
You brought our theme to life in truly inspiring ways. Each submission told its own story, personal, powerful, and deeply connected to place.
I have to say… you’ve made things very difficult for our judges this year. The creativity, emotion, and range of perspectives made every entry stand out in its own way. Choosing finalists is no easy task when every photo has its own story to tell.
While the judging process continues, I want to take a moment to thank every single person who participated. Whether you submitted a photo, voted, or simply followed along, you were part of this story.
Nature is all around us, but moments like these remind us to slow down and really appreciate the natural world we’re part of, and to see each other in it too.
Until next time, keep exploring, keep noticing, and keep sharing the places that feel like home.
With gratitude,
Sana
