Early Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

I woke up in time to catch some fleeting brightly colored clouds to the east. There was still some snow on the ground. By noon most of the snow was mostly gone (spring flowers). Then by evening, the snow was all gone (young deer).

Early Spring Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

The second day of spring brought the fourth Nor’easter storm this March. Images from mid-afternoon, and it is still snowing. So far the power has stayed on, and I haven’t lost any more trees.

Backyard Late Winter Nature in New Jersey.

Walkabout in my backyard on a late winter sunny day with a Nikon 1 V1 camera and some big Nikon lenses using a FT1 adapter. A bright yellow daffodil bloom, and a squirrel with an acorn that he just dug up.
