Morning Rays on Sunrise Mountain Road
Stokes State Forest, Sussex County, New Jersey

This photo was taken on a recent outing. I quickly jumped out of my car to seize the opportunity of morning sunlight piercing through clearing fog in the forest. The good photo opportunities are always fleeting.

Mule Bridge and Fog
Waterloo Village, Byram, New Jersey

On a recent peaceful morning nature walk I was fortunate to capture a bit of fog burning off of the Musconetcong River. Surely this mule bridge is one of the most photographed bridges in Northern New Jersey.

FYI – the bridge is slated for replacement – https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/sussex/2019/04/08/waterloo-village-gets-3-million-state-historical-renovations/3375483002/

Kayaking around Potash Lake and Ramapo River in Oakland NJ

It was all fun and games until a large dark cloud came overhead and the wind picked up.

Visit the boat launch at Potash Lake – https://paddling.com/paddle/locations/potash-lake-on-the-ramapo-river/?lat=41.0224&lng=-74.2593&zoom=14

All photos taken with my typical kayaking setup which is the Tamron 18-400mm VC lens + Canon SL2. A pretty versatile tool and portable enough for me to fit inside my dry bag.

Northern Grey Treefrog in habitat

Jenny Jump State Forest, Warren County NJ

Treefrogs are usually difficult to find if you are looking for them. Finding this frog was purely accidental and my purpose of the photograph was to show the frog’s habitat.

View from Jenny Jump Mountain

Warren County, New Jersey

I hope to revisit this vista when there is a little more cloud drama. A steep trail ascent up the mountain affords quite a view from this park.

Gray Skies at Splitrock Reservoir

I love walking the rocky bluffs around Splitrock, they are good for wildlife observation and also good for landscape shooting.

The smallest dragonfly found in NJ and not the easiest to photograph either.
