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 I was a kid we kept getting phone calls that when you answered they Hang up. Dad complained to the phone company. They said our neighbors were having a similar problem. They sent a service man out to investigate the problem. It turned out that a squirrel had built a nest in some kind of box up on the pole in the alley. Every time it came or left it stepped on some kind of terminals that dialed everyone !
Nice photo David! Every couple years, a squirrel will short-out the main power line and black out the neighborhood. Not very good results for the squirrel!
Lovely shot ๐
That's nice! Love the shadow!

What a cool shadow!
Love the branched bokeh in the blue sky.
He looks a little unhappy balancing up there. He clearly is not a big fan of bokeh! ๐
Great detail
So lovely!
