Out of Town
Took a brief trip out of the city where I snapped a few shots of nature.
My parents have a hummingbird feeder, and I was determined to get a hummingbird on this visit. It’s not easy. I set up the camera about 15 feet away and waited. As they came in, I snapped away using my camera’s remote. Still, they are not easy suckers to capture. This was the best of the bunch, where the bird was pretty clear.

Even in these suburban skies, I like to see the stars when it’s clear—it’s much darker here than in NYC. Here’s a shot of the northern sky with the Milky Way, and some light-pollution-reflecting clouds.

Finally, a couple shots from the garden.
