My last bird seen, photographed, and posted in 2024; It's a wrap! The long-tailed duck is a migratory sea duck that breeds in the tundra of the arctic and migrates to CT during the winter. Ive seen them often from a distance but never close enough to photograph, they are skittish but these were very cooperative in Long Beach CT. Happy New Year !

How to photograph a snowy owl? 7 days of walking a total of 20 miles over 3 locations and today with a gusty wind blowing off of the LI sound...Success! It was worth it. Great way to end the yr.

My last day in Lititz PA I was walking around the town. I saw this beautiful 1956 Chevy BelAir. I bought a coffee and got a 1956 penny in change. It gave me the idea to produce these images circa 1950's B&W. You will have to go to the last image to see the actual color of the car.
