Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Local Rabbit at Sunrise. Image taken with a Nikon D810a camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 1600, 600 mm, f/4, 1/1000 sec). If you look closely, you can see the reflection of my house in the rabbit’s eye. I miss having several friends join me for sunrise on the ship. Now at least I have a Jersey rabbit that is willing to be a model.

Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Morning Mammals in the yard and garden. Although it rained yesterday and last night, the sky was clear when the sun came up this morning. I took these images from within my living room, while the glass on the windows is still clean.
