    Great Horned Owl?

    Yeah, great photo. This, along with HawkinNative's vulture photos, have made my evening. Thanks for posting. Screech owls are cool ... I hear them all the time (and have recorded quite a few, but always from a distance), but have yet to see one in the wild. There's a bunch of 'em down at the...

    High Plains Drifting

    For future reference (we'll let it slide this time), please note that Alfie is under contract and can only appear in photographs taken by myself. Otherwise, I enjoyed all of your photos, the videos (the 4-legged creature handled the slippery surface best!) and reports. :)

    Lehigh Valley

    Coolsville! But you should have went back to the Adirondacks and visited the bar where, after hiking, you watched the Phils mow down LA in the NLCS. Now I know why the Iggles went down. :) I'd love to visit some ice-falls in the winter. There's one in the 'gunks in NY state that calls...

    Daytime Wandering's

    Wharton rocks! :) It's really great how you include your family and pet into your outings (and photos). It's like pulling teeth to get my kids out -- I think I waited too long to start trying. You're breaking them in young. Keep the photos coming, Chuck!

    Thanks, Pancoast! Hmmm ... maybe when I went to fish Marvin out of Shane Branch on Saturday? My conscience got the best of me. Marv was encased in a huge block of ice when I pulled him out. Good thing he's a cartoon character; they tend to survive ice blocks (and other calamities) much...

    Circuit City goes under.....

    It's hard to believe that a major player in the technological arena can go down in this day and age. These are scary times. I guess it's survival of the fittest nowadays, and, once this economic storms passes (hopefully), those that weathered it will be better off, and new fields will be there...

    Cedar Waxwings

    Amen to that. I almost enjoy what I hear in nature as much as what I see ... that's why I recently started field recording frogs, birds, and whatnot (although amateur quality stuff is what I come up with). I like nothing more than dawn transitions in the pine barrens, when whippoorwills give...

    river walks

    Al, Marvin and I spent the cold and dreary day wandering portions of the Wading River, plus Shane and Skit branches. Al spent most of his effort seeking high ground solitude locations and markers, Marvin for anarchistic weaponry, and I wanted pretty things to photograph. This would be the final...

    Tuesday with Alfie

    Thank you, g. There's power in that photo-blend , but I think this has a lot more to do with "place" than with anything I did. I'll go back someday and see what some blue sky and sunlight adds to the setting. A final Tuesday (for a while) trip is on for tomorrow. Forecast: heavy clouds...

    pineland paddler on Mars?

    Oh, wait ... it's only Marvin.

    The Front Page - State of the Forums Address

    Best place on the World Wide Web, in my opinion. This is thanks to Ben, Guy and the entire cast of characters. Mostly, though, it's our shared passion; the barrens. Jim's right -- they live where they are, and here.

    Quote from the AP

    My kids each have basketball games Sunday, back-to-back, at the precise hours the Iggles play. Drat! Chase Utley is hurt, so I'd put my money on the Giants.

    Tuesday with Alfie

    Ha! This brings to mind our rather recent Oswego River trip when I attempted to paddle your non-keeled white-water kayak across Oswego Lake during a heavy wind (resulting in a floating merry-go-round effect); you (mercifully) had to tow me across then, too. If the lake's not frozen Tuesday...

    Tuesday with Alfie

    Ya know ... we were cruising along River Road after meandering around Johnson Cemetery and I saw the house and did an instant-brake double-take. "Alfie!" I simply threw the truck in park and snapped the photo from the road. But I think it's the first house that's ever made me stop in my...

    Tuesday with Alfie

    Alfie, Yeah. You know my weak spot. I have all the patience in the world, but let somebody toss a stick in a pool of calm water when I'm shooting, or let a drop of rain land on my camera lens ... back off!! Great day today, dude. Bill Johnson Cemetery

    Tuesday with Alfie

    Mohammad Al-FIE(!) and yers truly braved not-so-great elements and wandered areas near the Mullica and Wading rivers this Tuesday. Ice was pelting my truck when driving to pick Al up this morning and there was serious contemplation of postponing the journey. I'm glad we didn't. This first...

    Scouting the Skit, A PBX Hike

    Very nice! I see by your track that you covered some of the ground Al and I took in last week (specifically near Roberts Branch) ... and those strip meadow photos (Guy) look like mighty familiar territory. See any whip tracks? Amazing what some sunlight will do to fire those babies up...
