We finally got rain, thunder and lighting starting at 03:00 this morning. Found my newest house pet when opening the garage for the contractor this morning. Most of my grass is dry, and really need the rain. Yesterday while driving back from a breakfast in Rahway I noticed most of the fields with corn or soybeans were all brown. I so much don’t miss doing the commute anymore. An hour and a half to drive 35 miles, even knowing the back roads. I guess schools have started and everyone is back from summer vacations.

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.
