nothing like the "bumper car" effect while paddling! the name of the lake is sooo fitting....it's a very peaceful place!

maybe one Saturday Gene is working we can set sail. i'd just need a bit of help loading the yak on the roof rack.

Hi..Makepeace Lake is man made as are all of the lakes here in South Jersey. I believe it was once or maybe still is used as a resevoir for the blueberry farmers. Maybe about 10-12 years ago, give or take (I have never been good about time) the earthen dam washed out with the help of vandals...

nice, I always wondered what the inside of the school house looked like. Hopefully the door will go back up befrore the place gets destroyed. It's been a couple of years since we were up to Jemima Mt...and the pics you took yesterday has the erosion looking much worse than when we were there...

can't remeber which road we were on, but somewhere in the vicinity of APH. We were taking in the sights and spotted a very large hole, big enough for me to crawl into, in the side of a high spot on the edge of the woods. In front of the hole was a pile of deer bones. We thought about...

Yesterday while helping to set up a family get together at my Mom's, we moved a couple of stack chairs in the pool yard. Found this little guy resting on the chair back. Apparently they like the pool yard. There are three of them that show up regularly. Turned him loose in the rhodendrens.

Thanks AL. Just recently I read something about the indiams making a drink from the crushed berries. Maybe I give it a shot. Joyce

Then I found a couple of more plants I can't ID. One is viney with sharp "hairs". best I can describe it, with a cluster of buds that open to small white cup shape flowers. The leaves are an elongated heart shape. This one growing close to the water's edge. The other is a wirey plant with...

Thanks Bob. Took off from work today, daughter and son-in-law coming to spend a few days before heading off to Antarctica again. Headed to the lake before running some errands...

lake while still low, now has water wher the water lilies are. Earlier this week it was a mud flat with sunny nests. Boyd, timing is everything!!!

Things have been a little slow on the beach. The last couple of visits though have been a treat to the eyes. From the road the area looks to be a stretch of weeds, but get close and there is blooming everywhere. Blue Curls, a couple of Golden Rods, Bonesets, Asters and Sunflowers. A very tine...

best to prevent them. we use a product made by sawyer that needs to be applied to clothing only prior to wearing. we spray both the inside and outside of our pants and socks, outside of boots. then a good skin spray with deet. so far so good. went exploring near and old bog in piney...

I was wondering what those very strange things were hitting my wind shield on my way home from work. Then I remembered....RAIN!!! Power stayed on but the winds were whipping things around pretty good about 7:30, along with a pretty heavy down pour. Was still raining at 11:30. Curious to see...

Some more I can't ID....all found on my little beach #2 I think might be Ladie's Tresses. There is a bunch of these spikes along the edge of the lake. #'s 3 & 4 Tick Trefoil? The only one I have seen before was very viney with very tiny flowers and leaves. This one was about 5 ft long, leaves...

beautiful pictures!

thanks, it did make me chuckle!

on our to do list.....hope to get out there this fall

I have a BC that swims...but unless the geese meow or sound like a harley he'll be useless!

Haven't seen a single mantis all summer. We usually have a couple out in the yard. I did find one of their cousins on the front of the house the other morning. I remember years ago Praying Mantis were on the endangered list...are they still? Does any one know anything about "walking sticks"?

great shots....thanks for the links. Your shots from the Shennandoha brought back some memories. On our hike to the falls, a father and young son were trout fishing. A doe was bedded down under the brush. Then my husband spotted a black bear cub....a second later it and it's Mom hightailed...
