Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

It was cloudy and rained much of the day.  I did get a chance to photograph a rabbit in my backyard as it was mowing my grass and clover. Also an image of some wet fast growing tree leaves.

Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

It is raining today. A couple of images from near the house taken with a Leica X1 camera. The first is some daffodils still in bloom (most are already done) and the other of wet holly leaves. In both cases these are the “out of the camera” jpg images.
