Winter-bound barrens! I like the way you've caught the grasses, incredibly luminescent beneath the somber trees. The delicate colors of the water scene are lovely. Boots in crackling ice: stunning. Thanks for the adventure! Glo

I agree, Guy. Are you going to look? What could possibly be left from 1720????? An intriguing article--thanks, Jerseyman. Glo

Well said. Remembering the summer tadpoles, you seem to have a penchant for rescuings, Ed. Good for you! Glo

A nicely varied collection with great narrative. I especially like the beaver lodge, the liatris, and the katydid-wasp duel. Your orange frog looks like he was dunked in SC clay! Can't remember what kind . . . ? Thanks, Bob. Glo

Merry Christmas, y'all. My husband gave me Jersey Genesis, signed by Henry Charlton Beck in his curious looping script. Definitely a keeper! (Husband too.) Thanks to Jerseyman's intriguing posts, I'm extending my collection of books about the Pines and beginning to think about . . . a historical...

"The barrens are full of short stretches of unfinished pathways that lead into the wildest forest . . . And the plainest road has the obnoxious habit of forking at any spot where it takes a notion to divide, and the branches are so exactly alike, and the landscape ahead is so unvarying, and the...

"A description of Atsion will be incomplete without an allusion to the spring, which seems to supply the whole village with drinking water. It is located on the right side of the road, about 200 feet north of the station. To its cooling waters our party again and again repaired, to quench the...

Welcome! What sort of photographs did you take for the National Guard? Glo

A great story and even more affecting, as Largo noted, for its style, considered old-fashioned today. Interesting --feminists, note!--how the bride, rather than her two manly (tall, muscular, courageous, wise) escorts was the first to realize their danger. :mrgreen: "The legendary history of...

What a marvelous aural fusion of two worlds-- earth and sky; depths and heights; squatting and soaring! I love the calls of these wild creatures and this combination is especially enjoyable. Thanks, Whip, for patient hours recording, and Al, for tramping through the goo. Glo

An interesting pair. Thanks, Jerseyman! Glo

Beautiful cedars, swamps, meadows! Love the beaver lodge and the flower macros. And just think, a trek complete with chivalry! Go, PBX hikers! Glo

The sepia treatment is perfect for that church-cemetery scene, and the grave stones are interesting for their symmetry. Whip, were any dates visible? The mossy close-up suggests that they are very old. Nice transition from one transitory site to the next! I like the slices of bright...

I WISH Westboro were fictional. :( Glo

FYI this is fake. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landover_Baptist_Church Happy Thanksgiving from Seattle! Glo

:mrgreen: Glo

Thanks very much for this info, Jerseyman! Glo

Beautiful. Love the b/w and the fat lizard, if that's what it is. Thank you! Glo

Trying to manage anger. :mad: Glo

Thanks, y'all, for more chapters--with photos--in an exciting story. Glo
