I took these on Lake Lenape on Sept 28, 2024. It’s one of the small islands that are found on the very northern part of the lake as you enter the creek. It looks like the same yellow flower I photographed at Menantico Sand Ponds this fall?

I’m having difficulty getting my bearings trying to decipher that map photo from my phone screen. I know the exact location. When I get home tonight and have my iPad I can find it and drop a pin for you. Would you prefer I do that in a PM rather than publicly?

That was photographed from my kayak in the stream that feeds into Menantico Sand Ponds. There were two hummingbirds feeding on the flowers but I guess I got too close to snap the photo and they took off.

A few more.

Here’s a few I snapped on the last few months.

Good eye! I was driving by that area this morning and decided to stop and throw a tape measure on that hole to check the progress of my senility as it relates to spatial awareness :) I couldn’t locate the exact hole I posted in the above photo (senility is progressing nicely) but the hole in the...

I have more photos I didn’t post, but that looks virtually identical to what I saw. The photo I posted doesn’t do justice to the size of the holes. They’re pretty big. Probably a foot or more in diameter. I spotted three of them in about a 25 yard radius.

Also saw this fence lizard scurry away. He let me get right over him to snap a photo. I guess he figured it was too late to run, so camouflage was his best option.

I saw these holes while I was exploring near Evan’s Bridge this week. I’m assuming they were made by groundhogs?

Saw them harvesting this past weekend. I guess cranberries, like every other crop, vary from year to year based on the weather. The local NJ Pine Barrens cranberries I bought this year appear to be lighter in color than previous years.

Thank you!

We don’t live in a cold enough area to do this, but I was surprised to find out that people in New England used to ferment cider to wine strength, then set it in barrels outside during the winter. Then each morning they would remove the frozen top layer of liquid in the barrel. The frozen liquid...

I haven’t made wine or beer in 25-30 years. What’s the typical price for 5 gallons of grape juice from Gino Pinto this year?

Yeah, I’m a little concerned about that scenario. My insurance pays 100% for three cleanings a year and 100% for all diagnostic procedures. I don’t want diagnostic procedures performed on me because they’re free and they present a billing opportunity for the dentist.

By law your dentist has to provide you with a copy of your dental records if you request them, so I just forwarded my stack of x-rays to my new dentist. :cool: I had a great dentist for 20+ years, but he retired. I didn’t just leave his replacement over excessive x-rays. I got $1,367 of...
