"Great White Egret" by Frank Grasso

(BARNEGAT TOWNSHIP, NJ) -- The beauty of South Jersey's natural environs and the creatures that inhabit them bursts from the photographs of outdoorsman Frank Grasso, on display throughout the month of September at the Ocean County Library Barnegat Branch.

The retired carpenter says that he began to nurture his fondness for nature after settling in Barnegat 25 years ago.

“I was able to spend my time doing what I love which is being outdoors, hiking, kayaking, bicycling and photographing nature,” Frank said. “Bird photography is my favorite form…but I also do landscape and macro photography.”

“Every picture in my exhibit was taken in South Jersey,” he added, “even though some birds in my photos are not native to the Northeast part of the country but were up here breeding and nesting temporarily.”

The Frank Grasso photo exhibit is free and open to the public during normal Branch operating hours. For more information, stop by the OCL Barnegat Branch, 112 Burr Street, call (609) 698-3331 or visit https://theoceancountylibrary.org/events
