Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

A back-lit image of a Maple Leaf. The light was going down fast, and I had to get this quickly — thus handheld with a heavy lens. A macro image from 15 feet.

One-Year Ago (05-June-2010) — Bonaire

Gone to See the Caribbean Islands. Semester at Sea Spring 2010 Enrichment Voyage on the MV Explorer. Ultimate Travel Photography Workshop with Michael Mariant. Day 10: Kralendijk, Bonaire.

I found this Fip-Flop graveyard while photographing a lighthouse in Bonaire. I have no idea why all of these shoes are here — and if they were from tourists or locals lost on the beach.
