I will admit it is a little spooky being alone at night near a pond in the land of the Alligators. I tried to not linger too long for my night sky shooting.

A blue sky in winter and fresh powder always feels like a compelling invitation to get out and shoot a few landscapes.

A wooded trail, fresh powder on the ground, and sunlight piercing through the trees is always a fond interaction with nature ❄️

I got off 1 lucky shot on a recent walk along Pleasant Plains Road. I am always thankful for thousands of acres of preserved open space within the Great Swamp National Refuge. The habitat is likely the best for raptors in North Jersey.

It was unusual to see this rodent out in the open at midday. Not a good survival tactic!
