Looking For Images
This post was delayed due to a fierce nor’easter that left us without any power for five nights and six days! On a sunny afternoon a few days after the last snowstorm (I hope), I packed a few lenses in my backpack, picked up the tripod and went for a walk through our local nature [...]
