Spring is here!

Everyone loves spring, it always seems to brighten the coldest of moods... Warm weather, colorful scenes, and the return of wildlife to areas of Jersey bring us all out of our winter coats.  As a photographer the change of season gets me off my couch and back in the parks capturing this yearly event that so much of us take for granted.   As I visit more spots in the area I am realizing that Hurricane Sandy not only crippled our shoreline but has completely wrecked parts of our forests and rivers, especially in Morris County.... It's really sad to see.  I hope the return of good weather and long days has everyone in good spirits... Enjoy some of my recent work!
