I have been checking the Morning Glory recently and have not found it in bloom. Today, we visited the location that we discovered and reported on a few years back and they are good to go. That place is like a desert but the plants can still survive. We were pleasantly surprised on how well they...

Was relaxing at my sisters-in-laws pool today, actually almost sleeping, and something landed on my leg. It was a lantern fly nymph which I had never seen before. I was surprised that they hop far. Anyway, I followed the protocol and it is no more. This photo is the fly starting to hop...

Jessica was not feeling well this morning so I headed out alone to look specifically for Rattlesnakes. I tried a few places as well as my regular locations, and in short order I came up with one. I believe this is a female so I should see quite a bit of her for the rest of the season. Gravid...

So my younger daughter goes into the UPS store near where she works, which in in the general area of the pine barrens. The woman seemed as if she knew her and before my daughter could say anything the woman asked if she had live reptiles again. My daughter had no idea what she was referring...

We were scouting out and area today planning our fall schedule. The area is open in many area's and quite remote in places. We visited a spung at the beginning of our travels. It was dry and had a steal rod hammered in the ground at the lowest point. A small opening to the other side...

Found this hidden in a semi remote area. Without going into detail we found evidence someone was there on Tuesday and earlier this month and also found it. She was just starting to dig when we came upon her. You can still see the dirt on the back of the shell. She stopped when we arrived...

Ocean Spray juice bottles and wire mesh gets you a snake. Plenty of baby praying mantis there.

I had watched this video before and yesterday it showed up again during one of my Google searches so I watched it again. This time I watched it more closely and realized they should have edited this video a little more. Anyone who explores enough can surely figure it out just like I did. So...

My daughter was on 55 today and something flew through the air and hit her sunroof directly in the center of it. It scraped it up at the point of impact. If you watch this closely, right between the two white vehicles at the very beginning, just above the tree line, you can see it has been hit...

Here is a "Then And Now" you might find interesting. This first photo was taken on 2/1/2004 when Jessica and I were looking for property stones nearby. We returned with my brother on 4/24/2004, this time to eat our lunch. And this weekend Jessica and I returned looking for the concrete...

We have come upon more turtles this year so far than any of the last few years. Glad to see them. This male has a really dull shell.

We first spent some time looking for turtles in an area near Batsto. From there we traveled in a round about route to Carranza Road and along the way saw two box turtles. We stopped in at a remote location where Jessica and I discovered Morning Glory some years back and we reported it. In more...
