    Camp Batona

    Driving past the Carranza Memorial on Friday morning I saw a strange sight coming toward me. It was much larger than the horse trailers I usually see and as it got closer I realized it was a very nice, very large travel trailer. I've seen people camp out for deer week before but not this fancy...

    Tadpole to frog

    Back on August 15th we were walking through the parking lot at Carranza when we noticed many tadpoles in a puddle there. We thought wouldn't it be a great mid summer project to watch them transform into frogs. We took three home and put them in an aquarium on an outside table. At this stage they...

    Lower Forge / Unbridge revisited

    Lower Forge has always meant a campground to me. For decades I have hiked rode and paddled past the big hill of the Lower Forge campground. Recently I got to thinking about an actual forge in the vicinity and that little bridge just downstream of the camp ground known to some of us...

    Mac / IMAC

    I need to replace my 1998 PC and the IMAC has my attention. Guy, I know you like them. I do video and lots of pictures but my questions in general are what to expect when leaving the familiar, and frequently frustrating PC world. How is their built in software for photo and video? The salesman...

    A Crawleys paddle, again.

    This paddle never ceases to amuse me. We started at the Mullica canoe launch just above Batsto on Rt 542. Some sand art: OOOOZZZZE, Iron leaching out from a hill. I first wondered how to spell Ooze but then realized it wasn’t a word but rather an experience. Somewhat...

    Green snake

    I found this guy in the middle of the road. I only saw two of them before in blueberry bushes, a tough find. Very slender and shy, It seemed to think it was invisible, and most of the time it probably is. I kept taking pictures until this one at 5 inches. After this I tickled it's tail to...

    Horses at Batona Camp

    The camp is full of travel trailers, horse trailers and horses! I don't know how long they have been there but I first saw them Saturday and they are still encamped today. Except for the weather I wish I could join them. These pictures don't do it justice, I mean the camp is pretty much full.

    scanner/printer recomendation

    I have a lot of slides and pictures to scan. This piece of equipment will loose its usefulness to me when the job is done because as of now I am digital. There are many choices available, too many, including printer scanners. I have an old Epson Perfection 1650, it does a nice job but wayyyyy...

    Turkey Beard forest

    I found this dense stand of Turkey Beard near Carranza this weekend. We stopped counting at 60 heads. They will soon return to an inconspicuous grass. Guy, your closeups inspired me to try some with my new camera. The second picture obviously has a depth of field issue...
