Yeah winter has arrived and the ponds are frozen, I dont really walk on them though. One thing that's fun is throwing a rock across and seeing how far you can get it to slide.

But those aren't woodlands but buildings.

For all the TV shows I have seen on the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone,etc, I have never seen one show devoted to the pine barrens. I wonder if there have been TV shows made but never aired. I have heard of RFD-TV, sounds like they might have some stuff on the pines, but we dont get them on cable...

But if that's land paid for by your tax dollars....:confused:

Like I said I only go off trail if it is the only way to a pond or some other spot I want to get to. Some ponds dont have trails that go to them, the only way is to cut through the brush. If there's briars though forget about it! And there are preserves which the public is not allowed. We...

He sounds like a city slicker, I run into those ppl all the time, they say I am a very brave man to go into the "freaky woods". Esp the women, why is why I cant find a date. NY-Long Island women are like "I aint going in there, it's freaky and the trees dont move at all" :cry: If he's so...

I feel safer walking in the woods than in a suburban area. Narrow, winding trails seem to be just fine. But in the maze of urban sprawl, pedestrians aren't much thought of. Learned that lesson yesterday after hitting my head on a street sign because it was the only area to walk without going...

Did anyone watch it on The History Channel last night? Pretty much showed what would happen to the planet if humans dissapeared. Within just a few years plants would be growing in streets and wild animals would be roaming New York City. In 50 years most suburbs would have reverted to their...

Yeah the ticks are still out, I miss the way winters used to be. The ground was frozen and there snow on the ground, and the ticks went away. Mild winters suck. Lets hope it's just a weather pattern and not something permanant.:( Until things change I will have to keep waking to the sounds of...

Very nice photos, Ben. Very nice colors, did you use a polarizer? It sucks having a cold, for me, I have to do my best to avoid getting sick because a cold means an excruciatingly painful middle ear infection for at least a couple of weeks, even with antibiotics the fluid takes a long time to...

The ultimate question is how to get there by NJT Bus? For those of us without cars.:confused:

I guess those would be Blu-Blockers? Good substitute for a warming filter.

Using this in no way affects the camera's firmware. I have used it with my A610, it gives me live histograms, RAW mode, among many other features. http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK

That's the downside when you go with high MP. 12.1 is overkill for me personally, I wouldn't go any higher than 8. Ideally I'd recommend the A630 or A640, but beware of price gouging as Canon has stopped making those models. Of course what the CNET guy doesn't tell you is that you dont have to...

Wish it would just stay cold and those damn puddles would freeze over! They used to... (it'll get cold by Wednsday, but then possibly 60s and 70s by Monday!)

Get the A650IS! OK some advice with Canon cameras. If money is not an object I'd go for the A650, it lists for about $400, which actually isnt too bad since this is a 12.1MP camera.http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=183&modelid=15658 The A6xx series of...

Just want to alert folks there is alot of price gouging on digital cameras, especially some Canon models. I was shocked to see the camera I got for $149 back in 2005, the Powershot A610 selling for as much as $300 & up! Similar stuff is going on with the A630 and A640, selling for as much as...

Pitch Pine Christmas trees The seedlings in this meadow reminded me of little Christmas trees. Do any Christmas tree farms grow pitch pine seedlings? Well they should.

Well for the pine barrens I would like all development to stop. I would like gasoline to be replaced with a non-greenhouse gas emitting fuel. As for myself, I'd just like a cutie I could cuddle with under the pines. She'd be nice, but, lets face it, she aint going into the "freaky...

I generally prefer staying on the trails, but, some areas aren't accessible by trails, and it is then neccesary to "bushwack". I feel there is nothing wrong with hiking off trail, especially when there's no other way.
