My Feathered Friends |
| Sometimes amazing things happen. I went to this lake to photograph foliage one day in late October of 2010 with my new Nikon D300s camera. I was immediately converged upon from every direction by the birds in these photos. They came for a visit and let me take over 150 photographs of them, and they stayed until I thanked them and said goodbye. Here are some pictures of that special afternoon. |

Colorful Scenes at Crab Meadow Beach |
| I've lived on Long Island all my life and have never seen the water the color that it was on this February day in 2009. These photos are not filtered in any way. They don't look real, but they are! I call them my extraordinary beach scenes. |

Clouds |

A Look at Cape Ann, Massachusetts |

A Visit to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden |

The King's Park Psychiatric Hospital |
| As you walk the grounds of this derelict hospital the profound silence speaks. You can picture the bustling life that once existed here. You can feel the sadness that surrounds all these dead buildings as you think about what went on inside them. But then you notice the beauty that lives here, too. I've tried with these pictures, taken in July 2007, to capture both. |
