• Jack-in-the-Pulpit Flower (19-May-2016)

    Nine-Years Ago Today. Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

    The Jack-in-the-Pulpits are true native plants growing in my backyard. I did not plant them; they were just here. Mostly hidden in the back shaded sections. The green flowers provide camouflage making them easy to miss. You don’t want to mistake the stem with three leaves which I did at one time thinking they were Poison Ivy. Before having the back frog pond expanded a couple of years ago, I successfully transplanted a number of the Jack-in-the-Pulpit plants into soft pot containers that are blooming this year in my front yard.

  • Canada Goose Family out for a Swim (18-May-2008)

    Seventeen-Years Ago Today. Spring Nature at the Sourland Mountain Preserve in New Jersey.

    Two Canada Geese parents with six gooselings swimming in the pond at the local Sourland Mountain Preserve. I used to stop by the preserve on a regular basis to see and photograph the birds, frogs, turtles, butterflies, and flowers. There are several hikes out from the pond that go into the woods, or you can follow the natural gas line right-of-way path up the “mountains”. A mountain in New Jersey isn’t that high.

  • Dogwood Tree Flowers (01-May-2014)

    Eleven-years ago today. Backyard springtime nature in New Jersey.

    The Dogwood tree was blooming, but the flowers were so far up the tree I needed to use a big telephoto lens to capture this image. Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 320, 600 mm, f/4, 1/2500 sec). Today, I found another Dogwood tree outside the deer fence with flowers. As before, the flowers were high up in the tree. I’ll try to get an image on my next backyard walkabout.
