Late Summertime Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

Tree Fungus on a Dying Birch Tree in My Backyard. Image taken with a Leica T camera and 18-56 mm lens (ISO 500, 56 mm, f/5.6, 1/160 sec).

Out of the camera jpg because Capture One doesn’t recognize the RAW/DNG file created by the Leica T camera at this time. By the end of the afternoon, the birch trees were gone along with several other dying trees. I have lost over 30 trees due to storms, disease, and vines over the last 4 years.
