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.

+tim mcconkey Thanks, birds in flight with a mirror-less camera and electronic view finder are a challenge. This was before the recent firmware upgrade giving the camera continuous focus capabilities. I know that I could have nailed this with a DSLR, but really want to push what I can do with a lighter weight kit.
Very nice!
Gorgeous shot!! Love the reflections!! Thanks for sharing with +Water Bird Wednesday !!
