Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

The deer are getting gutsy, moving in closer to my wildflower meadows, and nibbling on the recently planted forsythia and lilac shrubs. This one was making a salad out of some recently planted wildflowers under the weather station.

Wintertime Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

The predicted snow didn’t happen. Instead heavy rain last night (~ 1.8 inches. When I woke up it was foggy out and warm (~ 45 °F). During the day the temperature is forecast to drop 30-40 degrees with heavy winds. During the day the sky cleared so I plan to see and photograph the lunar eclipse (“Wolf Blood Moon”). It will be cold, and I will need to tie down the camera tripods.
