2025 Year in Review | Favorite Nature & Wildlife Photos

As we move forward in the new year, I’m excited to share my “Best of 2025” nature photography slideshow, featuring breathtaking landscapes, wildlife, and outdoor adventures from California. This 5-minute video highlights my favorite moments exploring the Sierra Nevada, local forests, wild rivers, and historical destinations.

As I went through the past year's images, I realized that I didn't get out as often as I would have liked, and they inspired me to plan more trips for this year. If you love landscape photography, wildlife images, or simply the beauty of the outdoors, I hope these photos inspire you to connect with nature too. Thank you for supporting my journey as a California nature photographer! Which image is your favorite?
