Last year I took some pictures of some beautiful wildflower patches up on Route 1 and marked my calendar so I wouldn’t forget to do the same this year. I had made several trips up there in May only to …
Within minutes I received two suggestions that I should go photograph the swarming bees on the Landmark Realty office. I was expecting something more dramatic. My favorite moment though came while I was standing near the swarm photographing them and …
