NPLD 2015 is in the books for the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse ONA. 2015 also marks the 20th annual for this event, and a great event it was.
Approximately 85 volunteers from the local community, Jupiter High School and local Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts participated in the early morning event. Volunteers retrieved approximately 200 lbs of trash - with many reporting how clean the mangroves and shoreline were compared with previous events. In addition, volunteers removed approximately 600 lbs of the parasitic lovevine, which improves both the ecosystem health and ascetics of the trails on site.

One afternoon I left the kids with the D70. A couple hours later I came back and saw them busy at work taking portraits. I think I took them by surprise--here Leon hams it up, while Fabian (to the right) looks up as he adjusts his camera.
