I have recently created a website with reports of my travels, hikes and birding trips. The focus of all reports is mainly on the beauty of nature: fantastic landscapes, beautiful birds, pretty flowers, sublime camouflage of some animals, etc. I'm very impressed by all that beauty, so I want to express that in the subtitle of the website.

What I came up with was this:
<Title of website>
"My adventures enjoying the magnificence of nature"

But as a non-native English speaker, I'm not sure if this sounds good or does it sound weird? Is it even a correct sentence? I would like to know how this comes across to a native English speaker.
 
Welcome to the forum. :)
That subheading seems okay to me.
 
It's not a sentence, but as a subtitle it doesn't need to be.

Note that < and > are not standard punctuation marks in English.

Why are you withholding the title?
 
It's not a sentence, but you're not looking for a sentence there. (It's perfect!)

I take "adventure" to mean the experience and excitement derived from a trip, not specifically the trip itself. Can we collocate "adventure" with "enjoying"?
 
It says:

My adventures enjoying the magnificence of nature

It's perfectly good.

I didn't want to be accused of spamming my website. This being my first post on this forum, it could easily look that way.

Thanks everybody for the feedback!

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but you should take "adventures" literally in this case. Many of my trips are long solo hikes (sometimes months long), often far from civilisation, camping in a small tent etc. And they are a means to an end: enjoying the magnificence of nature!
 
The title says: adventure is enjoying...
I'm surprised you read it that way. No, Ted, it's not the adventures that are doing the enjoying; it's the speaker. Read it as, for example, "My adventures (when I'm/as I'm) enjoying ...".
