This was shot in early spring as the snow melted and left pools of water in the flood plain of stoney creek.

I would like to introduce myself, I am Mike Moats, a professional Nature Photographer from Sterling Heights, Michigan. I started in photography as a hobby seven short years ago (2001) and it quickly grew into a full time business. To date I’ve had articles and images published in, Outdoor Photographer Magazine, Nature Photographer Magazine, Nature’s Best, Whisper In The Woods, Photolife, Michigan Game Finder, NANPA’s 2007 & 2008 Expression Book, and Fujifilms Newsletter (Cable Release), and Calenders. I’m proud to have won numerous international and local awards, and in 2006 was asked to join the Fuji Pro Talent Team, and in 2008 I became a moderator of the macro/flora catogory at Birdphotographers.Net. In 2006 I started Close-Up/Macro Photography Workshops, which went very well, and I’m expanding to add more workshops and clinics. The bulk of my income comes from sales of my prints which I market through art shows, exhibits, and online through my website. www.tinylandscapes.com Email, mgmoats@yahoo.com
