Diana Cosby: Inspiration From Nature (Contest)
Friday, February 14th, 2020

UPDATE: The winner is Jody W!

©Diana Cosby 2020


I enjoy my walks and love the incredible inspiration from nature. And, I never know what amazing things I’m going to see.

As I travel along the beach, marsh, or through the woods, the beauty of nature relaxes me and refills my muse.

An amateur photographer, in addition to the fun challenge of seeing what nature photos I can take, I’m honored to share them with my readers on my Facebook Romance Author page.

In addition to seeing the beautiful birds that live in my area, it’s exciting seeing birds that are migrating through.

Inspired by my walks, when I sit down to write, I do so with the beauty of nature, of the scents, sights, and sounds vivid in my mind, memories that at times are woven into my stories.

    I love seeing all your nature pictures when you post. That’s one of my favorite things about living in the country, being surrounded by all that nature. Taking a walk in the woods always seems to refresh my batteries.
