Although very chilly winds were forecasted combined with mostly cloudy skies, I was just hoping to catch sight of the Harlequins. I knew that they tend to stay on the eastern side of the jetty where the waves come smashing into the sides, and given the late arrival, might not have such good light, especially to capture the brilliant colors and the dark eyes. But, in spite of the obstacles, it was a wonderful surprise, at the end of the day, when uploading the photos from the flash drive, and finding that this muted tone appealed to me. I have already captured some very beautiful moments in good sunlight before—SEE the ALBUM on Barnegat Lighthouse SP—so to get this look was a nice addition to the inventory.
The Harlequin Ducks are amongst the very favorites of many photographers and birders, for the patterns and colors are truly quite eye-catching. In addition, it is amazing to see how they enjoy the rough waters by the rocky structures, all while pecking away at barnacles and marine vegetation on the jagged walls.
The Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is truly a splendid landscape, famous mostly for its historic lighthouse (over 100 years old) of architecturally clean lines that accentuate its presence, but also the well-designed structure of the long jetty consisting of huge rocks and boulders sandwiched between the nice sandy beach and the ocean, and finally, the wonderful array of fascinating birds throughout the seasons. Throughout the day, one can expect to see a variety of water vessels, from small one-man fishing boats to larger motorized ones, and even enormous tankers in the far distance. The U.S. Coastguard boats are constantly on the lookout for any potential problems in the water.
All of this is even more beautiful during the breathtaking end-of-the-day sunsets or early morning sunrise period, with the accompanying “Magic/Golden Hour” that exudes the special tones in the air. As nature enthusiasts and photographers, it doesn’t get much better than this.
Scavenger Hunt Day is May 24
A scavenger hunt is a game where individuals or teams compete to find items or perform tasks provided to them as a list by the organizers of the game. The aim of the game is for participants to fulfill the requirements on the list. Usually, at the end of the hunt a grand prize awaits the first person/ team to reach the end of the list. Scavenger hunts combine aspects of racing, competitive hunting, and hide and seek.
In many hunts, the organizers hide items in difficult to find places and give the participants clues on how and where to find them. Other hunts may require contestants to complete a route.
In recent years, technology has alleviated the way the game is played and has made it possible for players around the world to participate in scavenger hunts. Internet scavenger hunts require people to surf online and visit websites to find clues and solve problems.
Geocaching is yet another recent innovation in the world of scavenger hunting. It is the use of Global Positioning system (GPS) receivers to find caches or geocaches hidden at different spots around the world. A cache is usually a waterproof container that includes a log book and trinkets. Finders are required to leave their signature or name in the log book and may take a trinket out of the box as a way to remind them of their achievement. They must replace the trinket with another one of their choice and leave the cache in the same place they found it for others to find.
How Can You Celebrate Scavenger Hunt Day?
Organize a scavenger hunt for family and friends. To make it more interesting, include some attractive looking prizes and do it for charity.
Make work fun by doing a scavenger hunt at work during lunch time.
Participate in a scavenger hunt organized by your city or other local organizations.
Did You Know…
...that the word scavenger comes from the 14th-century English word scawageour? The word referred to officials that collected taxes.
Today, YOU get to participate in a simple ‘Scavenger Hunt’ and you don’t have to leave your house. Look at your desk or workstation (or your studio top table!) and see if you can find the items that Sherlock Holmes has found in my work area. Good luck. Count how many your find, and post the number. The one with the most items will get the famous “100% Full-Credit No-Prize Award.” </b/
Some more progress. Adding cables & Combine walls, widened the middle gap to represent the Citadel's 'active' state for a bit more visual interest. Currently planning on a 32x32 base for stability & surrounding landscape.
This is a Combine Harvester made by Port Huron Engine and Thresher Company in the early 1900's, to harvest grain crops. It would cut the grain, separate the grain from the stems, retain the grain and eject the chaff and stems. Quite a time and labor saver back in its day!

Went for a walk around this afternoon and took my camera just in case I came across anything pretty.
Its harvest time around these parts and all you can hear is sound of combine harvesters running until very late into the evening..
Ok its not pretty but it was pretty impressive what with all the noise and dust. not the newest bit of equipment but it still does the job.
funny little goes with this photo. I had been kneeling down taking various shots of this thing doing it run towards me trying to get that image that shows the fear these things must put into the wildlife living in the field.
Just after this image was taken the lad slowed down opened his door and shouted " Hope you got my best side"
In my best girlie voice I shouted back " Of course I did"
Don't think he was expecting A t girl to be taking photos of a farmer working.
Visited Washington during the arctic blast... Freezing weather, but had to go see the meeting place of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Combining two interests (pun intended) of mine: photography and economics!
these are the remaining shots of that famous afternoon. I imagined it differently but I feel quite satisfied equally, i like the final effect that i’ve obtained. I love the warm coulors and the welcoming feeelings in a pic and this ‘s pretty obvious in all my works, I guess …
if you have any suggest for future shootings or projects… write me freely
i’m looking for new ideas or collaborations with artists, others photaphers, designers, illustrators or… why not! even writers it would be great if i could combine my two passions
