No it's not Christmas just yet! There's still sunblock at the beach (or in my case fishing) and falling leaves before then. But since I finished this one, I figured I'd post it now. Hope you like it!

Closeup of Eastern Poison Ivy Toxicodendron radicans, shot at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York City. This special place is part of the Jamaica Bay Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area.
The active compound in the plant's sap that causes the often virulent skin reaction, including rash and blistering is called urushiol. But many birds and other animals eat the plant and its seeds with no ill effect.

Center detail shot of a huge oil painting we've had hanging in our living room for years. The artist's signed it as "F.Whitman." Joni and I have always loved this painting, which takes up almost a third of the wall. For those of you in warmer climates, I thought it might help cool you off!

Amish Draft Horse Lancaster County, PA

A Draft Horse, photographed in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania a few years ago. I got lucky with the shallow depth of field, giving the image a mild "3-D" effect." Hope you like it!
Maybe someone can help me confirm "draft horse or mule." The very clear reflection in his/her right eye really stands out.
