Seven-Years Ago (14-March-2010) — New Jersey

Backyard Late-Winter Nature in New Jersey. Nor’easter Aftermath.

Unlike the nor’easter today with lots of snow. Seven-years ago the ground was saturated with water, and I lost several trees due to wind. This was before Hurricane Irene or Sandy. The power was out for several days and I ended up living in my RV (that had a propane generator). I was fortunate that none of the trees that went down hit the house.

Late-Winter Nature in New Jersey. Delaware River Flooding and Backyard Flowers.

With all of the recent rain and warming temperatures melting the snow, the Delaware river had been flooding. I drove to Lambertville to get some pictures as the water was receding. Lots of trash washed up and was left behind in the Lambertville Inn parking lot next to the Lambertville – New Hope bridge. After getting home there were many more snow-drop and purple-crocus blooms to photograph.

Backyard Late Winter Nature in New Jersey.

Some more late winter flowers from my daily walkabout. There is hope for spring. Images taken with a Nikon 1 V1 camera and 30-110 mm VR lens. I got to really like this lightweight camera. A lot of folks consider the Nikon 1 mirrorless cameras as toys that a professional would never use.
