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.

Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Macro images taken in my back yard of a white wildflower, bee in a Rhododendron flower and a newly opened  Maple leaf. After a brief afternoon rain storm, I went out with the same kit as yesterday. I like looking close with a macro lens, especially in the spring when flowers are blooming and the bees are active. I think the white flower is an invasive “Star of Bethlehem” (Ornithogalium umbellatum)

Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

I was afraid I was going to miss the Plum Tree in bloom this year. The tree took a lot of hits this winter and some significant cuts by the power company.  I also got an image of a new maple leaf.
