Roberts Branch was the area of choice today for 'poorbill and the Snapper (whips both). The former was full of confidence as he was jaunting around all zigzagged for the first time with a GPS in his hand. Snap still laid out the trip. I wouldn't recommend anyone try to visit the area without...

The western edge of Cumberland and Cape May counties, bordered by the Delaware Bay, is sparsely populated, but rich in biodiversity. I spent today with my 10-year-old son, who wanted to see some of these areas which I regularly visit --- Sea Breeze, Dix WMA and the Cohansey watershed. Stefan...

This post is somewhat inspired by Sue's thread, where she's announced her book that will hopefully be published, concerning Friendship, and her efforts to keep its history alive by sharing her childhood memories there. That said, I often wander back through the neighborhood I grew up in...

I'll be packing up the Mazda this weekend and heading up to the Adirondacks for five days. This'll be my first time thereabouts, so I'm curious if anyone has been up that way and, if so, can recommend any points of interest. I'll be taking my wife and sons, so hikes on the extremely rigorous...

They said I'd never go to the barrens in daylight again, but my buddy Al grabbed me by the collar Monday and drug me to the following creeks: Sleeper, Skit, the upper Batsto, and Deep Run. He said, "You're going to take some normal pictures for a change." "Okay," I agreed. "But I will not...

I've been lumping most of my photos in another thread ... but I'll start another. Al and I took another ride to the barrens tonight hoping to catch some images under the full moon. Alas, clouds. I tried to make do with what little available light there was (with an occasional flare provided...

Bob's inspiring Adirondack photos compel me to share a few photos I took while visiting West Virginia earlier this week. Large quantities of time was spent up on the Dolly Sods, which ranks as my favorite wilderness area on the planet, and has warranted repeat visits. Here are a few photos...

My son and I were traveling south on Carranza Rd. from Tabernacle mid-afternoon today -- a biker and his gal had just pulled over ahead of us at the bridge in Friendship (I had been following them at about a half-mile's distance); the couple waved for me to stop at the bridge. The biker pointed...

A friend of mine and I visited Laurel Hill Cemetery yesterday, which rests above the Schuylkill River on the fringe of Philadelphia. We were on a bit of a photography mission, as this post will quickly reveal. I'm not sure how well I captured the area (my friend does much better; he uses...

A friend and I made it to Ongs Hat last Tuesday afternoon, completing a winter-hike project on the Batona Trail. I do think it's best to walk this trail in the direction from Lake Absegami north -- the sun is over the hiker's shoulder most of the way, the lighting more effective for seeing. We...
