On New Year’s Eve I went to Gerry Park in Roslyn. I took a trip there after work and stayed until dark. I did not get a chance to see a good sunset due to the cloud cover, but I was still very happy with my shots. This park is free to enter and hasContinue reading “Gerry Park”

Revisiting Norman J Levy Park
The day after Christmas, I revisited Norman J Levy Park. I went with a good friend of mine in search of the Northern Shrike.

For The Birds – Sweet Songbirds
Today’s post is highlighting the sweet songbirds that I have photographed. When I was first getting into photography, I used birds as practice. Now this has evolved into a full blown birding and photography addiction. Hopefully you enjoy these shots as much as I do!
