Spizzel Creek is located down the path that leads to the bird blind in Island Beach State Park, NJ.  The last two images were taken out back on the estuary behind my townhouse in Toms River.

I’ve been trying to catch up on these blog posts since getting back from Acadia Park. Here are some shots of our resident hummingbird. She has since left for Central America, her winter home.

An architect, working on the renovation of the Pediatrics Wing at Jersey Shore Hospital, asked me to photograph Convention Hall. These are the images from that early morning in August on the Asbury beach. The first image is now 18 feet long and hangs on the wall in the waiting room at Jersey Shore in the Pediatrics Wing. The second image shows it on the wall. It was pretty awesome to come off the elevator and see my image staring back at me.

I shot these few in Seaside Park while waiting for the moon to rise. Fishermen always add a nice touch to a photograph.

Met this guy later in the afternoon. The last photo of this year at Acadia.

This was just a beautiful night. The stars were incredible. My friend, Marco Crupi, and I stayed out the entire night until daylight. We started at the far end of Mount Desert Island at Bass Lighthouse and finished the night at Sand Beach.

07/14/14 Loons of Acadia

Posted: September 9, 2014 in Uncategorized

After seven years, I finally took a decent photo of a loon. Early in the morning as Sharon and I dropped the kayaks in the water at Jordan Pond, we could hear the beautiful and haunting calls of a loon. We paddled to the end of the pond and this loon was very cooperative. He seemed as curious about us as we were about him. He stayed on the surface and did not dive for about an hour. A second loon showed up and stayed for a short time. It was an awesome morning.
