This was not pleasant to watch, but it is nature. I was shooting the frog on a lily pad and this snake just snatched it up.
I swear I heard it burp!
I decided to check out the waves at Seaside Park as hurricane Earl was passing. The waves were not that impressive, but I met some interesting people on the beach. My favorite was a dog named “Coco”. It was his first trip to the ocean. He was a little confused when he was hit by the waves. Since he’s a hunting dog, he kept chasing all the sandpipers in the surf.
Some additional butterfly images from Cattus Island in Toms River, NJ.
Seaside, NJ has two great carousels. This is the one at the north pier in Seaside Heights.
The butterfly garden in Cattus Island is always a great place to photograph. This deer was just laying in the shade trying to cool off from the extreme heat. It didn’t seem to mind the camera.
This past Sunday I photographed a friend’s 90th birthday. Ann is quite the pretty woman at 90. Here are some interesting faces from the party.

Their demands were high for this photo session.
Some images of sunflowers, a favorite of Vincent Van Gogh. Fresh sunflowers are placed at his gravesite daily.
Sunflowers, Vincent Van Gogh, 1888
Some shots from the Lakewood Blueclaws game last night. The Blueclaws are the Phillies AAA minor league team. Lakwewood lost 4-3 in 11 innings. That’s Sharon with our friends, Larry and Kathy.
Last week, I photographed a wedding for a friend. They have such a nice family and the reception was wonderful. I had a great time shooting the children. They are all gorgeous and loved to model for the camera. Congratulations to Steve and Jenny.
