A couple of hours spent rambling alone in the woods the other day helped me get my groove back. Nature photography, I realize, is where my heart is. These fellows, looking back at me, seemed to know it too.

Spring Awakening
Just two weeks ago at the Hollister House, among the first signs of spring, this impressive star magnolia was in its full glory, dominating the view above the gardens, which were just beginning to wake from their winter slumber. I was drawn to the contrast of the blooms against the dark tones of the mansion.
Cow Line-up
In a concerted effort to find the perpetrator of the cow patty deposits by the gate, I had the likely suspects line up. With a surly glance, number 56 stepped forward.

Grand Concourse Overlook
Against the grandeur of Grand Central Terminal’s arching windows, the people on the balcony seemed insignificant.

Friends
The relationship between a girl and her horse is special. It is an idea I always wanted to capture. Today the opportunity arose.
After the Haying
The farmer’s work was done. The hay was cut, raked, baled, and unloaded. The red tractor and wagon were set out in the field so photogenically, that it looked like they were waiting to have their picture taken. Someone had to oblige them.

Field Day
Out in a summer field with my camera, of course, I came upon these happy creatures having their fill of the season’s offerings. With my lens out to its maximum of 600mm, I didn’t disturb them in the slightest. The painterly effect was exactly what I hoped for.

Two or Three Tulips
It’s my Dutch side showing here. I was born to photograph tulips. And this is a good year for it in Connecticut.

Mother Nature
When I saw the killdeer sitting on the gravel driveway, I thought it might be injured. But when I walked nearer, it quickly stood and I saw the three eggs beneath. Killdeers typically nest on the ground among pebbles and rocks where their eggs are camouflaged, and a pair will take turns sitting on them. This couple happened to pick a busy driveway to set up housekeeping.

Holding Back the Clouds
This scene drew me for its contrast of pure blue sky against the snow and billowy white clouds that seemed to be held back by the snow fence.
