Late Winter Nature in New Jersey. Snowy Day at the Sourland Mountain Preserve.
I went for a walk at the local Sourland Mountain Preserve. It was snowing, a late winter storm. The long winding road is the right-of-way for a cross-country high-pressure gas line. The other images are of cattail, a pair of Mallard ducks swimming in a pond, and tree bark coated with snow.

Elderhostel “Photography in the Southwest” Workshop Day 5. Flying Egyptian Goddess
Prior to departing Kelly Place B&B I saw this wooden model of a “Flying Egyptian Goddess” hanging from the ceiling of the activities lodge. I did a number of shots, trying to bounce the flash in a way to minimize shadows. I liked this one the best. Then a long drive back to Boulder.
