A blazed nature trail winds through 32 acres of peaceful preserved open space in Warren County NJ. This is a nice outing for those interested in nature study, nature photography, or simply getting outdoors. Parking is found at roadside on South Street in Frelinghuysen.

Some thoughts on finding wildlife – from Troy Meadows in Parsippany NJ
Wildlife observation is all about researching and documenting the proper habitat for the animals.
In this video I demonstrate locating a slumbering raccoon by seeking out a naturally occurring tree cavity in Parsippany New Jersey.
Do you have any questions or comments about finding wildlife or finding wildlife habitat?

Morning photography at Troy Meadows in Parsippany NJ
Great skies earlier today!
I found some interesting symmetry and warm morning light. Out shooting with the Canon SL2 200D DSLR + Sigma 17-50mm F/2.8 OS lens. My trusty Manfrotto tripod is with me as always!

Canon EOS M50
24 megapixel mirrorless camera
My first day out with this new camera. I will be using it for filming wildlife in Ultra High Definition (4k) as well as general nature photography.
The articulating screen and touch screen are great features. Having a few less manual dials than a full sized DSLR will take getting used to. I love being able to use all of my Canon mount lenses onto a small camera though.
I should be able to run detailed prints up to 20″x30″ from this setup but will continue to use my Canon 5Dsr for heavy duty landscape work. Let me know if you have any questions about the Canon M50 which I may be able to answer for you.
