Jerry Barrack’s Celery Farm Pix
My buddy Jerry Barrack was the first photographer to make The Celery Farm Nature Preserve his home base -- back…
I have been working with photographer Kevin Watson on Hawk Mountain, a coffee-table book
to commemorate the sanctuary’s
75th anniversary, and I have been heading over there fairly regularly.
In the process, I have become addicted to the sanctuary’s native plant garden, which is in its prime time each summer.
It is abounding with frogs, turtles, dragonflies and damselflies, butterflies, beautiful flowers and — though tough to photograph — tranquility.
