Exploring Marble Hill Natural Area in Phillipsburg NJ

Following morning real estate appointments in Lopatcong in Warren County I consulted Google Maps and made way to a local natural greenway. This adventure brings me within Marble Hill Natural Resource Area, a section of the Warren Highlands Trail adjacent to the Delaware River.

By using a wide angle interchangeable lens I was able to draw in the foreground greenery to add some embellishing to this image. A good landscape image is all about carefully and knowingly layering the components.

We parked in the Woodstock Dike Parking Lot so this view near the Boiceville Bridge Trailhead was at the fair end of the rail trail. There are scenic areas scattered the entirety of the rail trail.

Late Day February Sun on the Den Brook

Denville Township, New Jersey

My old hiking boots filled with water as I got my tripod into position for this shot. Was it worth it to center the mossy rock in the lower center of the photo frame? Yes.

We had a great Dragonfly Walk at Jonathan’s Woods this morning led by Chris Ryerson.

Participants got to observe dragonflies and damselflies at close range and Chris gave us great insight into the lifecycles of these interesting carnivores. Thank you to our walk leaders and attendees.

POWWW‘s next free nature program is the Edible Mushroom Walk in August – https://www.facebook.com/events/2165155403552884/
