Thanks for sharing your trip, Jeff. I've wondered what was in that area. That's some sandpit! Glo

Very interesting and an excellent resource to keep in my NJ History file! I've read that NJ taverns played a vital part in events like the American Revolution but have never seen such a useful summary. Details such as the cost of meals or lodging are a great addition. The mention of...

A beautiful find, Bob! There's something about old books that the coolest Kindle can never touch: the feel of fragile, foxed pages; the sight of an owner's looping signature and ancient date; the sense of holding a scrap of history in your hands. Hang onto that one! Glo

I enjoyed much of Walden, especially sections such as "Sounds," "Solitude," "The Pond in Winter," and "Spring." IMO, however, Boyd's A Pine Barrens Odyssey is more accessible, more sparkling, and less introverted. I certainly can identify with Thoreau's interest in swamps and bogs. "Would it...

Have missed you and your thoughts, George! Glo

That's good news! Glo

What a beautiful spot, with its incredible tapestry of moss! It's such fun to be able to pan up into the trees all the way to the sky. Thanks for enduring what it cost to get there and for sharing it with us. Glo

Looks as if the journey to the Emerald City consisted of more than a yellow brick road. But hey--these guys are tough! That first photo is worth framing. Brushed platinum might do it justice. Lovely. Glo

Thank you! Very helpful. Glo

I've never seen the Tulpe so low. Is that usual for August? Does a drought have much effect on the Barrens, with its many rivers and bogs? Glo

Okay-- sorry, new laptop. Have now installed missing plugins. "Grassy Barrens" is a winner too. These all give such breadth and depth to well-loved landscapes. A great new media! Glo

These give some interesting effects, don't they? The first one didn't load for me, but the second very effectively gives a sense of pitch pines going on forever, and the third has captured one of my favorite places in the Barrens. It's quite cool being able to stop the motion and zoom in on a...

Welcome, Raven. You're going to love this site! Glo

Great rattler pics, Guy & Jess, and wonderful discussion from y'all, including the new tick-chigger topic. This is the kind of talk that has given the Forum its well-deserved reputation for excellence. My condolences to manumuskin on his pantyhose dilemma. I hear ya . . . but just remember...

Brilliant! A lovely way to showcase "a conflagration of fireflies". Glo

Your music has a unique flavor . . . like Al, I could not distinguish the words, but it seems to fit what you're saying. I like your strong verbs, and the unexpected use of "planes," and (yesss!) the way you convey the sense of something wild in the Pines that grabs and does not let go...

Well-supported article with good information! I've wondered why a man like Bacon would choose to be a "robber," and this provides helpful insight. The comments following the article are also educational. Thanks! Glo

Reflective water, and window, and eyes -- all so beautiful! The green frog looks pensive here, and the pbtf seems to be holding on for dear life . . . I wonder whether they wonder about us too, and come to equally mistaken conclusions! LOL Nice to see the blooms on your lovely birch-bark...

Thanks for useful pix and reports, Ed! Glo

Wonderful contrasts here, Whip, bracketed by mobile cloud peaks at the beginning and a static roof peak at the end. I like: —the complex colors and shapes of the floats, set into a simple arch —the fading, transitory frog-image, pinned to venerable, velvet-crusted bark —the glowing wild...
