Leaderless Walk at Allamuchy Mountain
Leaderless Walk at Allamuchy Mountain State Park
Leaderless Walks are small organized groups compromised mostly of butterfly, dragonfly, bird, and botany enthusiasts. The walks are free, informative, and informal. Most will take place on weekdays. If you’d like me to put you in touch with the organizers let me know.
The highlights for me on this trip were getting close-up shots of the Black Racer and also getting the shot of two very young Five-lined Skinks in one frame.

Waiting out a summer shower paid off well for me this time. This shot was taken about 70 minutes after my prior post here.

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Sussex County NJ
I had no more than 15 minutes to find my composition before the deluge began. The Walpack Valley is an incredibly tranquil and scenic area to myself and many others. It is a challenge to give such a place photographic justice.

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/

I could count on one hand all of the doors I’ve photographed (excluding realtor work). This shot couldn’t be passed up.

Nice scenery and camaraderie.
Many crayfish lurking on the river bottom, saw 1 Green Heron, several Great Blue Herons, Painted Turtles, and many dragonflies.
We even wrapped up the afternoon with ice cream at Denville Dog after a hot day in the sun. 🍦
All images taken with my kayaking photography rig: Tamron 18-400mm VC zoom lens + Canon SL2 DSLR.
