Long Bridge at Black Run
Long Bridge at Black Run
Black Run Preserve, Evesham, Burlington County NJ
Crossing this 10 foot stretch of “bridge” on a nature trail almost seemed like a good idea until I gauged the depth at nearly 4 feet with my tripod. Carrying 20 lbs of unwieldy photography gear in a backpack also convinced me that this trail was not for me.

Trail and Pond – Tall Pines State Preserve
Trail and Pond
Tall Pines State Preserve, Gloucester County NJ
This was my first visit to Gloucester County’s first state park. I found the walk leisurely and scenic and I am glad to know that this area has their own state park for recreation.

Gathering Clouds over Walpack Valley
Gathering Clouds over Walpack Valley
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.

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.

Hibernia Pond
Hibernia Pond
Wildcat Ridge Wildlife Management Area, Rockaway Township, New Jersey
Located off of the far end of Upper Hibernia Road, parts of the pond’s shore line are composed of big piles of rock tailings from former mining operations. The local water snake community takes full advantage of the rocks.
