Beautiful shots . . . Impressive, the way you've caught them against the dark water. Gotta love that bad-hair-day merganser with his gorgeous eyes and bill. Thanks! Glo

Thank you for this article; it is most interesting to me because of the topic, especially the eighteenth-century excerpts. This is a remarkable statement: “The relations between the Indians of New Jersey and the white settlers had always been amicable. The land that was needed was fairly...

What a lovely expanse of pebbled white! I was wondering how the bogs would look in snow. Thanks for these pics, Ed! Glo

Nice views along the river bluffs! Looks as if y'all had some climbing to do. The pine grove shots are beautiful, with the trunks, looking mysterious, expanding to the full, incredible height of the trees. On my laptop, a quarter of that photo fills the screen, and scrolling down gives a...

What a story! Leaves me wondering about the workers at the mill. What effect did this tangle have upon them? Thanks, Jerseyman. Thought-provoking! Glo

Great rambling! I like the cool mossy swamp scenes, and your sun-sky shots are spectacular. Amazing how you got the sun to pose over that lighthouse and set it on fire! :) I'm glad to see the geese with their bright colors and the cobalt-blue water . . . is the chocolate-feathered one a...

Thank you, Bob and Guy. Looks like I'll miss it this spring; June is too late for me. Maybe someone will post photos! Glo

Finally had a chance to read this, and what a treasure, all the way from his description of insect life on through the prof's view of exam papers to the actual trip itself. Interesting that even back then, they had this problem: "But I would make it a condition of the prize that the name...

Great shots and a wonderful story--especially the ending! Flooded cedar swamps, what a sight. That submerged sign is downright spooky. Glo

An enjoyable account. He sounds like the original happy camper. Thanks for this perspective, Jerseyman.

Love that moon and the incredible flaming sky. Just watched your snow video too--beautiful! Never before realized how many exposures it takes. Thanks! Glo

Beautiful icy-blue river and woods just waiting for spring! Thanks for thinking to post your pics. Glo

This is a magnificent winter tapestry, woven with pale threads and studded with brilliance. I like the ivory and jade and cinnamon-brown fungi; the muted blue-green forests; the chilled azure streams; the sepia birdscape. They complement the ice-diamonds set in flame, and the silvered...

The mergansers taking off is an exciting shot. Love all your mergansers--the colors are so precise, they hardly look real. And I can't help feeling sorry for that chilly ol' vulture. Thanks for the icy-mud crawl to get these for us. Glo

I'm glad you added the Tulpehocken photos, Whip. Those rivers in flood are an amazing sight and the chilly blued confluence is lovely. The Toop-Wading confluence is one of my favorite spots in the barrens. Contrast: Last October. Beautiful in any season! Glo

"During the revolutionary days the Pines were infested by the tories, who often made incursions to the settled country in this vicinity, where they robbed and murdered to their hearts’ content. The rebels often followed the retreating scoundrels into the fastnesses of the forests where fierce...

The link worked for me. I have that shot in my files but don't want to upload it into my Forum gallery. Please show it if you can, Guy. It's excellent. Glo

Your Deep Hollow woods look like something in a fairy tale, Bob. Are you sure you didn't see an elf whisking through that luxuriant heath? I'm curious about the yellowish floating stuff (sorry!) on the Cook's Branch stream. Is this like the froth on the Tulpehocken that Ed described as...

Please do. I'm downloading them as they appear, but they would be a great resource on this already-remarkable site. "The glass sand appears to be a uniform layer over the whole southern end of the State. It is composed of beautifully white, pure quartzose sand, fine, angular and...

"Many invalids seek that same region to-day, and find in the soft air, tempered as it is by the breath of the pines and the salt of the sea, a tonic for tired nerves and worn bodies; but neither Wells nor his companion was searching for anything of that kind." A great story, fun to read, and...
