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

I nearly stepped on this viper as I came off of a hiking trail 🥾. Fortunately for both me and the snake, crisis was averted ⚠️

This young rabbit paid us little mind as we approached. It was quite busy eating a buffet of grass and clover.

I couldn’t select my favorite frame of this young porcupine. These shots were taken not far from the NJ/NY Stateline where porcupines are a little more common. Periodically these cool critters are seen in the Northern parts of Morris County as well.

Ever get the feeling someone is watching you?

Taken just moments before my prior post
Mama bear was largely concealed but closely monitoring us as we walked by on a trail. The cubs were fully cloaked by the forest understory.

As we exited the Kuser Dryden Natural Area, we spied on 1 distant black bear spying on us. Moments later the 2 cubs shot up a tree to get a better vantage point or to escape perceived danger. Luckily we were 20+ feet away when the encounter occurred.
