Waiting out a summer shower paid off well for me this time. This shot was taken about 70 minutes after my prior post here.

Gathering Clouds over Walpack Valley

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Sussex County NJ

I had no more than 15 minutes to find my composition before the deluge began. The Walpack Valley is an incredibly tranquil and scenic area to myself and many others. It is a challenge to give such a place photographic justice.

We had a great Dragonfly Walk at Jonathan’s Woods this morning led by Chris Ryerson.
Participants got to observe dragonflies and damselflies at close range and Chris gave us great insight into the lifecycles of these interesting carnivores. Thank you to our walk leaders and attendees.

POWWW‘s next free nature program is the Edible Mushroom Walk in August – https://www.facebook.com/events/2165155403552884/

I could count on one hand all of the doors I’ve photographed (excluding realtor work). This shot couldn’t be passed up.

Many crayfish lurking on the river bottom, saw 1 Green Heron, several Great Blue Herons, Painted Turtles, and many dragonflies.

This old farm property was very overgrown and difficult to see from the main road. Interestingly, this is actually state-owned open space now.

All photos taken with my typical kayaking setup which is the Tamron 18-400mm VC lens + Canon SL2.  A pretty versatile tool and portable enough for me to fit inside my dry bag.
