Some of my favorite shots from our recent roadtrip. This was my first visit to the White Mountains and the landscapes and ecosystem were especially inspiring. It was also great to interact with so many travelers and locals that prioritize nature.

The spectacle of large flocks of Tree Swallows staging means that another Summer is drawing to an end.

In my experience these local lizards are curious and even when startled will eventually pop up to observe their observers.

Ovenbird – Wildcat Ridge NJ

These migratory woodland warblers can be confused for thrushes or sparrows until viewed through decent magnification. Ovenbirds are also a challenging photography subject for me as they are often lurking in the shadows of the forest floor.

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.
