I love the contrast of the dramatically lit orange of the beaver-stripped tree trunk against the deep blue of water. Beaver activity at Hartman Park is endlessly fascinating. There is always something new to see.

This image is a composite of 200 photos taken with 30 second exposure each. The camera was mounted on a tripod pointing towards the pole star. It shows the movement of Earth around its axis as time goes by. It also shows the light pollution caused by many airplanes and satellites that can be seen crisscrossed over the startrails.

Joe had said you can achieve vibrant colors on cloudy days, and to not necessarily focus on big landscapes. We came across a stream and I decided to try to hand capture a long exposure. I like the composition and end result despite not using a tripod.

The blooming of our native dogwoods [Cornus florida] mark spring for me. Peppered throughout old farms and Lyme’s preserves, dogwoods seem to be honored members of our community. This single last blossom, surrounded by the new leaves that will nourish the tree, serves as a reminder to celebrate their beauty.
