We found this little guy while cleaning our fish pond yesterday. Suprising color!

On May 30th we noticed alot of activity in a puddle at the Carranza Memorial. We never tire of watching these guys develop. The puddle. The aquarium. May 30th, just a dot. June 2nd, I got buds. June 11, not working yet but looking good. June 16th, got legs and am...

They cut down the big, beat up old tree next to the memorial. The area has also been graded. It's sad because I believe it to be a witness tree. I often pondered about the damage to it. Just a quick count of rings gets 100. I will go back, clean it up and get a better count.

I got the pool on the 29th, don't put any appendages in there! http://www.missbarnegatlight.com/DailyFiishinReports.html Diesel the boat dog.

There are so many of them I am afraid to walk. Ed

I have these little guys hopping around my yard, also lots of toads. They also come in a grey variety. Any idea what type of frog it is?

We decided to kayak the Mullica from 542 to Crowleys today. As I have stated before this section never ceases to ammuse, it did not dissapoint. I could have taken picture all the way down but here are the high lights. A beautiful Blue Flag. There were many fledgling cat birds in the...

I am digitizing my photos and I am looking for a way to attach properties to files, in this case JPGs, so I can search for them in different ways. When I think about my pictures sometime I think of a date, subject, and place. Rather than have copies stored in different ways I was hoping to get...

It's internal structure is starting to show, nails and a metal bar of some sort that looks like holds ths planks together. Most of the wear is where everyone drives it so I straddle, just like avoiding the ruts in puddles.

Some recient pictures of what's going on out Carranza way. A telephone pole with a long guide wire that was blocking one of the roads into Batona Camp about 1 month ago. We're spray painting the trees now, High Crossing. Like one arrow isn't enough. There are marks just like this out at...

We found this on our walk at Carranza this morning. It's on the south east trail out of the parking lot. Broken eye glasses and a CD. The CD says "Nov 24 2006 Jim Jones Nas Jay-2 omarium". A Smirnoff Orange bottle and a can of Progresso soup The puddles are overflowing and...

For a week now I have been getting daily grouped spam with the title starting with one of my email account names “shopppp”. Sure I could filter “shopppp” but sometimes it’s legit. One day the sender will be “coupon code included” <jerking@firstgreenlawn.com> Another...

Sunday morning The Skit

I found this intact shelter while bushwacking near the Batona Camp this morning. There was no campfire or other disturbance around it. It did appear to have been used, there was a broken flash light in it. How to build a shelter...

Here's an interesting structure off the Batona Trail traveling north out of Carranza just after the first bridge.

Within the past month I have seen allot of trees with yellow paint on them. This is on Push Line Road. I first saw it on Dec 28th and is new since I am down this way frequently. It is approximately here on the right side of the road after you cross the gravel hill traveling west toward...

My origional carpet is shot and I am trying to pick a replacement. There seems to be alot of choices and I am having trouble narrowing it down. Any suggestions? Ed

It was cold and everything was solid. We saw only an occasional bird or mouse track. The drive out there was better than I expected. The bridge at Friendship is completely covered in graffitti.

We finally got out for a walk at Carranza at 1 PM today. Right before the first entrance to the lot we saw this little guy abandoned in the snow. It was scared and wouldn't leave it's shavings. We got it home in spite of having a terrier and Great Dane in the Wrangler. It is eating and drinking...

A couple of finds along the tracks from Carranza to the Batsto trestle. These unusual metal pieces were occasionally under the tracks, both inside and outside the rails near the Quarter Mile Run. I've only seen them in this section of track. They were always along side a tie but not...
