I purchase this tent as a birthday gift. It was shortly put together and and therewith provided ample entertainment for the family.

I appreciate the way the light creates a translucent effect on these lotus leaves at the Grounds for Sculpture, Hamilton, New Jersey.

I thought this wooden gate was visually interesting. Matter of fact, this entryway leads to the workshop of master woodworker, George Nakashima (1905-1990), Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

While hiking through the Plainsboro Preserve, I noticed this tree that had been damaged by beavers. In recent times, there has been an alarming amount of damage by the shore of the lake. An effort is underway to restore the trees felled by the local beaver population.

One day, whilst visiting the Jersey shore, I noticed this group of young people running as though they were in a race. I grabbed a shot with my camera.

This clock tower is an interesting feature at a local mall. I used a tilt-shift lens on my Canon DSLR to keep the verticals from converging. (This is more typically done using a view camera).

Corn shocks are mostly ornamental nowadays. After picking the corn, farmers used to bundle the corn into shocks. The stalks would eventually dry out and were then used to feed livestock.

Sunflower (Dayton NJ)

This sunflower grew spontaneously …probably because I fed sunflower seeds to the birds. When the flower appeared, I decided to snap a picture.
