BACKWOODS NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY
Lenny Gorski

Wildlife and nature has been of interest to me from a very young age. I always had a desire to photograph, document and preserve the beauty and awesomeness of God’s creation.  Deer hunting since my late teens, I saw many birds and animals that only further intrigued me.   My focus is on North America. There’s nothing wrong with leaving the country for exotic birding destinations but I also feel there is so much here to see and appreciate it can easily take a lifetime.  

This website is a means to share some of what I see, in pictures. Photography captures glimpses into the lives and behavior of the birds and animals around us and wildlife can be a lifelong learning enjoyment.     There is always some new behavior,  display, or species to learn about, observe, track, listen to and, maybe photograph.

In addition, I hope to inspire appreciation for these animals and birds and highlight their number one threat, Habitat destruction.  My hope is an appreciation of these birds will cause us to consider land development, and its sometimes devastating impact on wildlife. 

Birds have always shown me the complexity and wonder of creation.  I believe such complexity points to a Creator.  A gift from God, for us to enjoy and appreciate.   

Wildlife is overlooked by many these days yet it has so much to offer.  When demands and pressures of life seem overwhelming, birds, animals and the great outdoors offer a peace and a chance to reset your mind.
