2018 Salem County Farmlands Calendar

I initially started taking photographs of Salem County farmlands to use as reference material for my paintings. After my children were born, I turned to taking pictures in the morning and evening as an extra way of being creative and finding inspiration. There has been such a positive response that I decided to compile them into a calendar for a good cause.

The 2018 Salem County Farmlands Calendar is a collection of photographs by me, Kimberly English, featuring the farmers and farmland of Salem County. $5 of each calendar sold will be donated to the Woodstown Future Farmers of America Program. A great holiday gift that gives back to our farming community!

Featuring: Coleman Brothers Farms of Elmer, English Farms of Aldine, Wilson Brother's Farms of Daretown, and Spring Brook Farms of Pittsgrove.

Eagles

It's a normal occurrence to see bald eagles around our home because we are surrounded by south jersey farmlands with multiple lakes in the area. Usually around 7:30 A.M. I can spot an eagle on it's daily route from the nest (near the lake) toward the power lines. After making breakfast for my family yesterday, my husband spotted two eagles across the street from our home. I quickly grabbed my camera and went out the door to see how close I could get for some pictures. I started sneaking up the hedgerow next to our house; the eagles were not phased. I walked across the street to get a better view and noticed what the birds were interested in: a dead possum. I was about 25 yards from the eagles and they couldn't have cared less that I was there!

Later in the morning, one of the eagles remained in the tree keeping a close watch on the possum. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to photograph when it swooped down to pick it up the road kill. However, I did get some action shots of two hawks trying to take the possum from the eagle.

Have you spotted any bald eagles? I'd love to see pictures! Please leave them in the comments below!
