Here is another photograph of local color taken during my one hour shooting session on the 13th.  Just two days after this image was taken, I noticed that the area is past peak for color this autumn, so unless I get the chance to make a trip down south this season, this may be the [...]

Here’s another shot from my mini outing a couple of days ago.  In this one, I focused on a section of trees that showed the varied hues of fall color as a gradient.  I hope you like it!

The colors of the autumn trees have just been popping up here recently and I finally grabbed an hour after work today to photograph some of it.  This year is the best for color that I can remember.  Tomorrow, I have a day off so I’m hoping to spend the day shooting and getting some [...]

Here’s another photograph of the Double-crested Cormorant I found hanging out at the duck pond in Glen Rock.  After fishing, cormorants dry their wings by holding them outstretched for the sun and air to dry.  I managed to get a portrait of this one while showing that behavior.

Here’s another photo from the Glen Rock Duck Pond.  I found this Double-crested Cormorant each time I visited, so its been hanging out at the duck pond regularly.  I have a few shots of cormorants, but I’m always looking for better ones so I tried for some photos of it.  This shot, of one swimming, [...]

Here’s another “special subject” I was able to find at the Glen Rock Duck Pond.  This female mallard has been present at the park for several months now, and yesterday, when I didn’t find the wigeon, I set out to finally get some shots of her.

What makes this mallard so unique is her blond coloring.  [...]

One of my favorite local spots is a small duck pond in Glen Rock, New Jersey that is part of the Saddle River County Park system.  Usually the pond is full of Mallards and Canada Geese, with occassional Great Egrets, Great Blue Herons, Black-crowned Night Herons, Ring-billed Gulls, and Double-crested Cormorants.  If you visit regularly [...]
