St Patrick's Day Parade

Took some photos at the St Patrick's Day parade in New Haven. Spotted this kid with a toy gun. Brings back memories of playing army with friends years ago.

Me and My Crows

I'm a bird watcher and have always been fascinated with crows. Although considered a pest, crows are highly intelligent and were associated with Gods and myths of various cultures. I've been feeding them over the winter and watching how they interact with each other. I wanted to do a self-portrait and decided to include a few of my crow friends.

Snow in March

Took a walk in the woods before work yesterday. It snowed Friday night and I wanted to take some shots before it all melted. I figure there may not be much more snow coming my way with Spring on the way. As a subject, I like the high contrast of wet dark trees against a backdrop of white snow. It's almost as close as you can come to a pen and ink drawing in nature.
