In the Pines In the Pines Where the sun never shines- I shivered when the cold winds blowed. Oo-o-ooo, Oo-o-ooo Oo-o-ooo, ooo-ee --- I shivered when the cold winds blowed. They shivered too, that brave Brigade, But found a tale midst frozen bricks Beneath the leaves and dusting snow—...

Please do, Raven! I'd like to meet you. Glo

With so many structures gone, the vistas of sky, sea, and sand are even more impressive. S & B provide endearing tidbits . . . Thank you for these shots! I miss the Pines, and --almost as much-- I miss this beach too. Glo

The Howard Johnson in Hammonton (sorry, so urban!) isn't too costly and has inexpensive rates for extended stay. Not fancy, but probably has a few more amenities than a lean-to. Ten minutes from Wharton. Glo

Thank you . . . I needed this respite. The cranberries, oddly enough, struck a chord -- a cool shot. Cannot wait to come back! Next month: LINES ON THE PINES! Glo

They're all great, Bob. I borrowed the leopard frog and green snake for a future post on my website -- you said you wouldn't mind . . . Thank you very much! Hope you'll be seeing lots of frogs this spring -- and sharing them with us. Glo

Thanks for posting this, Ed. It was a shock to find them there --on paths that used to be navigable. Glo

So the Toop is beautiful in winter too! Lovely pics! I like the skim of ice, the shimmering greens, the wonderfully textured trunks . . . It's hard to choose a favorite, but I dreamed over the Sophie-watching-river for a long time. I think she felt the magic too. Welcome, Sophie and...

Happy New Year, Raven! ... and a belated welcome to the Forum. Unlike you, I cannot claim the distinction of being a life-long AC resident, nor do I have your knowledge of indigenous plants, but we have somewhat in common: I whisper too. Frogs! Glo www.gloriarepp.com

Been there. Nice. Give me a cedar swamp any day, like the ones along the Tulpe . . .

Yessss! Beautiful, Tom, thanks so much! Sigh . . .

Beautiful pictures and comments from all of you . . . I'm spending a few weeks in Seattle. I like the magnificent spruce forests and rocky streams, but I cannot tell you how much I miss the sight of a ragged pitch pine or a golden savannah or rushing cedar water. Bob's notes are a plus . . ...

Very interesting background, Guy, and nice pix. Hope you find lots of those stones this winter. Glo

FPPreserve looks much more attractive than when I last saw it. Thanks for the beautiful update. Sophie looks like a fun dog -- and I love the way you caught her dashing thru young pines with that deep green water in the background. The Skit! Such a great spot -- and seems as nice as ever. The...

What a great story and beautiful pics! The video is a bonus, hearing the Panorama Kid's commentary and the squelching muddy sounds. Love the gentian shots. Turtle showed me my first gentian, and I'll always remember it. Many thanks! Glo

Thank you for sharing your trip, Ed. It's nice to see the new pine growth. I've wondered whether asters were common there, and you found big clumps of them! Perhaps Bob will see this and give us an ID? Thanks to you too, Guy, for the close-up. I really like the golden bouquet in its center. Glo

Jeff, I'm sorry to hear this too. But hey . . . could it give you some raw material for a song? (aka sublimate tribulation into art ... LOL) Glo

Interesting pics, Guy -- and Jessica! What kind of snake? Common in Barrens? The violet mushroom is amazing, and the comment that it's edible is useful to know. I've heard that squirrels eat fungi -- does anyone know whether they'd eat this one? Thanks y'all! Glo

This collection has lovely soft colors: the moss, the meadows, the aged walls. I especially like the rosy hue of the grasses. Bob, I think you've answered my question -- Panicum grass, right? It's a splendid view of that mantis, en camouflage, with Alfie working in the background. The steely...
