Wildlife pictures 2025-26 calendars out there

To seize a wild creature Dr. Drew Crain believes you need to assume like one.

Of course, when he talks about “capturing” them, the Maryville College biology professor means within the photographic sense of the phrase. More particularly, he means the scholars in his BIO200: Wildlife Photography course, a biennial class held final spring that has resulted in Beauty in Our Backyard, a 17-month calendar of sophistication works that showcases each the surprise of the Great Smoky Mountains and the budding abilities of these behind the lens. It’s now out there for buy.

The 17-month calendar — August 2025 by way of December 2026 — contains holidays, in addition to Maryville College-specific dates, akin to breaks, necessary occasions, semester dates and remaining exams. Each month encompasses a full-sized picture taken by a pupil, a small picture of the scholar photographer and the title and outline of the picture.

“It’s funny, because for every photo in every calendar, I remember exactly what was going on,” Crain stated. “I can look at photos in past calendars from 10 or 15 years ago, and I can remember everything about it. For this year’s calendar, I remember Abby Diggs ’25 spending 30 minutes to get a perfect hawk shot and Madison Taylor ’25 lying on the ground to get the perfect shot of two toads.”

Crain, who emphasizes wildlife pictures in his different fall and spring biology courses, has taught wildlife pictures since 2007, working with college students in each the classroom and the sector to seize the pure great thing about the Southern Appalachian area.

“The calendar features three of our greatest assets at Maryville College: Our amazing students, the Maryville College Woods and the Great Smoky Mountains,” Crain stated.
