Pied-billed Grebe
 
Lake Arrowhead, Denville NJ
 
Taken this afternoon out of the living room window. Pied-billed Grebes are largely migratory in New Jersey, appearing mostly in the colder months. This Grebe was keeping pace with a small group of Mallards but was actively diving for prey.

High Point Monument and Observation Platform
 
Sussex, New Jersey
 
The observation platform at High Point is located off the short but scenic driving loop. This is a very convenient way to get acquainted with High Point State Park, though not fully comprehensive of the diverse terrain to be found.

There is a great diversity of wildlife habitats at Greendell Marsh.  I plan on revisiting the area soon to show more of the limestone ridges after the trees have dropped the leaves.

Glacial Erratic in Autumn
 
Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area, Morris County NJ
 
In suburban Morris County, Pyramid Mountain is one of the best places to observe the rocky deposits of long-gone glaciers and reconnect with natural history.

Autumn at Taylortown Reservoir
 
Montville, New Jersey
 
Driving the course of Boonton Avenue from downtown Boonton to its confluence in Butler with Kakeout Road is an easy and relaxing way to get to Route 23 in Morris County. I always like to admire the water and woods around Taylortown Reservoir while driving through.

Autumn at Great Bay
 
Denville, New Jersey
 
I had to stand on a flimsy fallen tree to obtain this clear view of the lake. As Ansel Adams noted, “A good photograph is knowing where to stand.” Overcast skies also dictated adding an extra stop of light to the exposure to emphasize the foliage.

Trail Bend and Island View
 
Taylortown Reservoir, Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area, Morris County NJ
 
I am continuing to explore the park throughout all 4 seasons. Grateful to have the honor of Morris Parks using my artwork for the upcoming replacement of trail signage with the Pyramid Mountain visitors center. Pyramid Mountain is a natural resource enjoyed by thousands of hikers each year, both from in state and out of state.
