Morning #njnature hike to a lesser known #MorrisCounty open space. Nice rocky views of the New Jersey Highlands combined with some litter cleanup.
We parked on Miller Drive in Fayson Lakes and hiked in opposite the Green Acres sign post.

A wide angle and intimate shot near Hog Pen seemed to “animate the emotions” of this tree to me.
