This is actually a very delayed entry... went here in late April and completely forgot to load the shots onto the site.  Shot my first wedding here, so always nice to come back for a relaxing stroll through the butterfly garden.  Also wanted to test out a close up filter I recently acquired, so here we go!

One more Spring run of birding at my favorite little local hotspot.  I have some new destinations in mind to shoot this season, but some don't open til after Memorial Day... some I prefer nicer weather, so filling time with a little birding locally.  Not too much out this run, but caught a few nice shots in the mix.

Slowly but surely the warm season is starting to kick in.  I got one random nice Thursday with nothing pressing to do, so out I went for a little walk through Greenlawn Cemetery in Salem, MA.  Truly a wildlife treasure... I have better luck out there than most runs to Plum Island.  Maybe just the fact it's a smaller area with full access to every corner of the grounds whereas Plum Island limits your wandering a bit.

In any event! It was a nice nature walk... always peaceful (as it should be and always remain).
