Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

It was cloudy and rained much of the day.  I did get a chance to photograph a rabbit in my backyard as it was mowing my grass and clover. Also an image of some wet fast growing tree leaves.

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.
