Foggy morning in Rockaway Valley
Boonton Twp NJ
May 2023
I was able to park my car yesterday and shoot a few frames before the morning fog dissipated.
Another note of interest- my internet research reveals that this agricultural property near the corner of Rockaway Valley Road and Valley Road was the first preserved farmland in Boonton Township.

Call them what you like: Efts, Newts, or Salamanders These charismatic amphibians make me grateful for the preserved open spaces we do have in North Jersey.
Sidenote: if you do take the time to get outside to observe reptiles and amphibians do not be selfish and move them or take them home. Nobody wants to be a prisoner.

A foggy morning cloaked the rising sun in a moon-like appearance.
