Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

My friend Harvey. Notice the mile-a-minute vine, but unfortunately the rabbit doesn’t eat it.

Gone to See North America Road Trip. Day 23: Alaska-Canada Highway, Canada.

Lots of wildlife on the side of the highway. A mother black bear and her two cubs, a red fox, and bison. I didn’t realize that bison lived in forests?

Gone to See North America Road Trip. Day 23: Alaska-Canada Highway, Canada.

This was getting near the end of the season for road construction and repair. Waiting for the signal to proceed. I apologize I also take blurry pictures. Are relatively long exposures. I still can’t figure out where her arm is in the last image. Taken from the RV with a Nikon D700 camera and 70-300 mm VR lens, somewhere along the Alaska Canada Highway.

Two-Years Ago (12-September-2013) — New Jersey

Backyard Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

A groundhog approaching my patio. I am less patient with these critters. A number of years ago, one built its nest in a tunnel right next the basement’s foundation. They also have devastated my kitchen garden.
