    Botany

    I came across a small section of grassy field today that had several dozen Gentians in bloom. I noticed many of the flowers had four petals. Is there a range in the number of petals that a Gentian will have or did I see a quirky trait from a small gene pool?

    Pizza Tonight

    Technically not in the Pines, but there is a small pizza joint in the strip mall south of the Tuckerton Stewart's on Route 9, that has some of the best Sicilian pie I have eaten. Please keep in mind though, I was out in the Pines for thirteen hours before dinner and my hunger may have swayed my...

    Capewell Glass Negative Collection

    The stand looks similar to what can still be seen at some local farm fairs, such as the Hunterdon County 4H Fair.

    Hurry up, hard frost!

    I have used a wide selection of boots but I can usually be seen wearing Danner Mountain Lights or, for for lighter duty, Bates DuraShocks. The Bates are hard to beat for hot weather comfort and their light weight. They are also standard Air Force issue. Both brands are Rednek approved and made...

    Telescoping in the Pine Barrens

    46er, I didn't check on the specifications of this telescope, but does it have an eyepiece adapter which enables you to attach your camera to it?

    Hurry up, hard frost!

    Deer flies are the spawn of the devil! Chiggers are out of sight, out of mind. You only know they have payed you visit by their bites. Deer flies on the other hand...They fly into your eyes, mouth, ears and nose during their kamikazes. They gnaw through clothing just to bite you. My personal...

    Hurry up, hard frost!

    I have over an hour drive from where I live and I sometimes visit the Barrens three times a week. The trip can be tough, but knowing how much I will enjoy being out motivates me to turn the ignition key every time! I don't think you need boots that high. I have been using eight inch high...

    Hurry up, hard frost!

    The little buggers haven't been to bad, but I have been appreciating the cool temperatures. I only have a few dozen bites on my ankles and on my belt line, lower than the usual hundred I carry around on my body. There is one odd bite in my ear. I don't know how a chigger managed to climb that...

    I forgot about Monmouth County. Ms Oates, you should plan a Saturday trip to Big Brook this Fall. We had a great time looking for fossils in and along the banks of the brook. http://cnrecparks.com/big-brook-preserve/

    Telescoping in the Pine Barrens

    Flash, Late last Summer I spent and evening driving around in the Pines to see if I could find a place or two that would be as dark as it could be considered what the light influences are for New Jersey. Even though you still have to deal with the light domes from the coast and Philadelphia to...

    Suzuki Samurai = ultimate pines vehicle?

    I still believe a good pair of boots are the ultimate way of getting around the pines.:D

    Film dead?

    I understand what everyone has to say and I agree.;) I love the convenience of digital photography and everything instant it has to offer, but I also love the Bronica because I have to do everything.:) I might be romancing this thought a bit, but I find when I am using the medium format camera...

    Film dead?

    Yeah Dog, I meant ETR-si. I was out twelve hours yesterday in Bass River and then had dinner with Dragoncjo and his friend Justin in Tuckerton. After the hour and half drive home, I wasn't thinking very clear, not that I do that when I am well rested. I find the using film slows down the...

    Film dead?

    I still use film. I picked up Bronica STR-si a while ago as my full manual rig. I got an incredible deal in New York on it. Walked out the door onto 18th Street with the Speed Grip, Finder ll, 75mm lens and three film boxes for under three hundred. Kodak and Fujifilm are what I use.
