    another barren night

    the quite quiet night This evening, Alfalfa piloted the sand-road craft in the direction of the Tulpehocken River ... ... my favorite place in the entire universe; we then walked to a series of ripples located upon the same ... ... where a recording was made while the sun spun...

    waiting on frogs

    first avenue bog out Alfie'd heard frogs near the Tuckahoe River a week or so back, so I solo'd to the waterway's general vicinity this afternoon, arriving six hours before sunset (a bad habit of mine), which is six hours before the crooning begins; so began a long waiting process. There was...

    another barren night

    Late night, listening to a beautiful edition of Star's End on WXPN, letting the music take me to another place. That April afternoon and evening ... Hawkin Bridge Friendship Mr. Bubbles

    Music for the day

    small hours very ... the imagery reminds me of that in terrence malick's the thin red line (and theme of the same film's incredible score by hans zimmer); the song also made me think of another called one world, by john martyn, reminding me we recently lost john, which led me back to this...

    bay days

    Curiosity certainly draws some of us to places like Thompson's Beach. However, the main topic of discussion between Al and I during our Tuesday visit was how acceptable the mess was. I confessed at one point that the abandoned community is a photographer's dream. Still, with that, and even...

    Thompson's Beach (Tuesday with Alfie) I'll be leaving trip comments to a minimum here ... it's been a long (though wonderful) day. Alfie and I finally took the walk out to the Delaware Bay abandoned community of Thompson's Beach this afternoon; yeah, the bugs feasted in drenching...

    bay days

    In prep for a planned Tuesday-with-Alfie bay gig scheduled for tomorrow, I headed to the access to Sea Breeze this evening to take a bug biting tally. Verdict: We'll be eaten alive. "Slap! Slap! Slap!" There was a nice clapper rail/marsh wren symphony in progress. Out came the...

    another barren night

    Mid-June brings a gradual fade to (near) silence at night in the pine barrens, as the frogs and birds get to other business. After the loving ... I wish I had spent more time listening this season. Here's a guy carrying a definite look of longing; it's as if he misses somebody...

    Moore's Beach With Manumuskin

    No, Jim. It's not. The photo was simply a mood item I brewed up this morning from a recent Sea Breeze snap. Appropriate I figured, as Sea Breeze, when visited, whispers "it's the last time I look like today;" another bay community on borrowed time.

    Moore's Beach With Manumuskin

    I'm guessing when these bayside communities are abandoned, much gets left behind. It's never good to see our junk strewn about, but I think if you were out at Moore's or Thompson's, Bob, you wouldn't be quite so appalled. Much of what remains piques the imagination, and makes one wonder how it...

    Have I missed something?

    I usually ignore it when folks have disagreements, but ... well, it's not for me to say ... this past one didn't appear to be all that serious to me (there have been plenty worse), a simple misunderstanding, and quickly settled itself. I loved (and looked forward to) Hawkin's bird photos...

    Oswego Lake to Sim Place ... 2009

    Would it be safe to say, then, that it's probably better to navigate the upper Oswego with a kayak? Liftovers are often times more complicated using kayaks (at least in mine) due to the difficulty of exiting them when in water. Alfie and I have been contemplating a trip up there (though Guy's...

    Beer (again)

    Well ... I don't drink. But I do remember liking an old television beer commercial featuring three crooning frogs. They went something like this ... Frog 1: Bud Frog 2: Wise Frog 3: Er I keep hoping I run into these guys in the field. Ya know ... for the life of me, I can't...

    another barren night

    I spent Saturday night bogged down in Friendship, doing what I usually do. Overdosing on Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee (blueberry flavored, of course), I intended to make it through daybreak, and succeeded. Frogs to birds, ya know ... it's a truly nice transition. Once the earth shifted its...
