There's a large population of these cute little guys living on and around my front porch. They especially like the firewood that I store there. Have also seen them in my woods, around rotting wood. I don't know how well it comes across in these iPhone pix, but the tail has a very striking...

This surprised me, although I still think it's pretty shocking that 24% of New Jerseyans are obese... http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.html

This guy was hanging out on the window screen this morning. I put the tape measure in the photo for some sense of scale, but it wasn't tight against the screen so it isn't quite accurate. I measured the spider from the tip of its front legs to the tip of its back legs and it was 4 inches total...

This is even better than a Bigfoot sighting. :D http://www.9news.com/news/sidetracks/278932/337/Goat-man-spotted-in-mountains-of-northern-Utah

Glad I don't have to work in Philadelphia any more. But a few days of hot weather shouldn't be so bad out in the pines, especially with the knowledge that it will cool down over the weekend. :)

This cute little fellow let me walk right up and take his picture with my iPhone. For the past couple years I've watched a big groundhog that has a nest near my driveway, but she was extremely shy and ran away at the slightest sound or movement. I think she was the Mom, but a couple weeks ago...

What is going on here? I first noticed these crates stacked up beside the road on 1st Avenue in Peaslee WMA about a week ago. From a distance they looked like those cardboard file boxes that are used to hold records. But upon approaching, they are full of bees! The buzzing was so loud it sounded...

It is really heavy out there today. The stringy things started falling from the oaks awhile ago but are still going strong, and the yellow pine pollen is everywhere. I rinsed it off my car with the hose and spent about an hour hiking around Belleplain. When I got back to the car it was covered...

Poor Eastman Kodak, their stock is trading at $0.67/share this morning and they have been warned by the NY Stock Exchange that they could be de-listed. When I lived near Rochester in upstate NY, I knew people who worked there and it was quite an impressive place. Now it's a mere shadow of its...

According to the National Weather Service, some areas could see scattered frost. Interesting, because the forecast low temperature seems pretty consistent in Southern NJ (~37 degrees). No frost warning when I look at Port Republic, Bass River or Millville, but Chatsworth, Mays Landing and Egg...

Was just in the Lowes in Egg Harbor and noticed they had moved a lot of their "outdoor" stuff into a temporary location to sell it off at the end of the season. Don't know if these are available everywhere, but might be worth a look if you are in one of their stores. I got a wireless digital...

In another thread (can't find it now), Guy mentioned that he was in an area a couple days ago where the mosquitoes were terrible. Yesterday I started to notice that they are getting terrible here in my own woods as well, which seemed a little odd for this time of year. I guess we can thank the...
