Below is a small collection of images I have taken at Barnegat over the past few years.  As you can see, the possibilities at this location are fantastic!

If you are interested in attending the seminar and haven’t yet registered, you can still register online or at the door.  The included breakfast, excellent speakers, and chance to win some fantastic prizes really make it worthwhile.  I’ve seen both Greg and Rick present before, as well as seen them with students in the field, and they are great photographers to learn from.  For more information about the November 7th event please visit NatureScapes.Net.  Hope to see you there!
