A former meteorologist turned landscape photographer has become one of the most familiar names in MyRye.com's "Art of Rye" series. Christine Gregg's latest entry, "Winter Sun, an Ant's Perspective," shot at Marie's Neck in the Marshlands Conservancy, published Sunday — her fourth appearance in the series after "Reflections at Playland Pool," "Boardwalk Evenings along Rye Beach," and "South Tower in Twilight."

Gregg studied meteorology and built a career in aviation before turning seriously to photography. She's shot on Canon cameras for about 15 years, working her way from an entry-level XTi up to her current full-frame 5D Mark IV. Her process starts long before she leaves the house: she scouts locations on Google Earth first, then plans trips around what catches her eye — a method that's taken her to Death Valley, Canyonlands, Joshua Tree, Acadia and Monument Valley.

Gregg returns again and again to the Marshlands Conservancy, Rye Beach and the Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary, all just a few miles from her Mamaroneck home. Her philosophy is simple: she shoots "so long as it's fun," documenting her process on her YouTube channel, "Christine Gregg Photo."

Both preserves she favors sit along Rye's Long Island Sound shoreline and hold Important Bird Area status from the National Audubon Society. The Marshlands Conservancy spans 147 acres with a half-mile of shoreline and three miles of trails through meadow, marsh and forest, open year-round from sunrise to sunset. The Read Wildlife Sanctuary covers 179 acres, including the 85-acre Manursing Lake, with trails open daily dawn to dusk (access requires membership through Friends of Read Wildlife Sanctuary).
