Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

This chipping sparrow was hunting for grubs in my recently planted wildflower meadow.

Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

I took some flowers inside to photograph in a light-box with a macro lens. The main reason was because of the wind outside making it difficult to keep the subject in focus. For some of the images I used a Black & White print of a Dragon Tree as the background in the light-box.


Individual images from the slideshow can be viewed here.
