Backyard Spring Nature in New Jersey: Rabbit and Ticks.
I noticed that one of my local rabbits had some big ticks on its neck. It was trying to rub them off without much luck.
I wanted to see and photograph the annular eclipse today. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the road trip out west due to a meeting in New Jersey that I need to attend on Monday. I do hope to photograph the Venus transit early in June. Weather permitting this should be possible from New Jersey.
