Exploring Sunrise Mountain at Stokes State Forest NJ

Mule Bridge and Fog
Waterloo Village, Byram, New Jersey
On a recent peaceful morning nature walk I was fortunate to capture a bit of fog burning off of the Musconetcong River. Surely this mule bridge is one of the most photographed bridges in Northern New Jersey.
FYI – the bridge is slated for replacement – https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/sussex/2019/04/08/waterloo-village-gets-3-million-state-historical-renovations/3375483002/

Groundhog and Pup
Bloodgood’s Pond in Union County NJ
May 2020
A rainy afternoon was not looking promising for nature photography until I spied the young Groundhog through my telephoto lens. It was very exciting for me to capture and record this tender moment between mother and child.
