Bosque Is For The Birds

My time at Bosque del Apache is nearly over. It’s been a wonderful adventure as always, with a great group of eager photographers who embraced the beauty and wonders that Bosque has to offer and soon filled card after card with images.

Excellent Adventures In Bosque del Apache

Times Square is filled with interesting people. I saw a wonderful gentleman with his Leica that I wanted to photograph so, I simply walked up to him and asked to take his portrait and he graciously said yes.
