I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.

When we got to the site there was a sign that it was closed due to the Government Shutdown, but only that they wouldn't be collecting any fees with the automated machine and the restrooms were locked. Based on the number of vehicles in the parking lot, we decided to go in anyways. The colors were near peak. Note that I do have an "America the Beautiful" Annual Pass so even if officially open would not have had to pay a fee.
