I'm always amazed by the submissions to National Geographic's Photography Contest. Sometimes I forget how big the world is, and how beautifully simple-yet-incredible nature can be. It's all about the little moments - moths swirling towards the light, a bear drying off by the river, a child silhouetted during a fishing trip.
The Boston Globe's Big Picture blog posted a selection of the entries so far, and I've posted my favorites above.
