I have re-worked an earlier image of a juvenile heron by carefully deleting the background. It is sort of like painting.

A winter view of Fishers Island Sound at the end of 2017.

Every tree in my neighborhood is a Christmas tree, even the ones old and leaning.
Fifteen degrees (F) and sunny with six crusty inches of snow on the ground.
From my visit to the great marsh on Mason Island in March 2016. This osprey mom was keeping two chicks hidden in her nest while keeping me in her sights.
