A low camera angle on the Paulinskill highlights the flowers of a Broadleaf Arrowhead.

âSnake phobiaâ seems to have recently overtaken my area as well as other parts of New Jersey. The facts are that venomous snakes (Copperheads and Rattlesnakes) are quite uncommon.
The facts also are that this is an image of a common Northern Water Snake which is the most misidentified snake around.
If you canât identify a snake donât go near it yet also apply the theory of âOccamâs Razorâ, the most common species is likely what you are looking at.

This small Pickerel Frog jumped across the Orange Trail and onto a rock during my late day hike to the local hawkwatch.
My camera was quite low to the ground with a wide angle macro lens to capture this perspective.
