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.

+Sofie Løve Forsberg When I first moved here it was rare to see rabbits. We had a lot of foxes. Then rabies took out the foxes, raccoons, oposumes. The rabbit and ground hog populations went way up. We have a few foxes that have recently returned, but the biggest predator for the rabbits are hawks.
Beautiful Animal portrait, +David Mathre ! 🙂
+Sofie Løve Forsberg The latest batch of little bunnies are just comming out of the nest, but I have not been able to get a picture yet.
+David Mathre It must be lovely to have wild Bunnies around! How are their numbers where you live?
