Nice! FD, are you using a tripod or shooting free hand for your macros ? I can invert the head on my tripod and shoot from underneath by the legs for the sharpest images. When I am just exploring I will contort my body into strange yoga poses to get the shot I want. Don't be surprised if you run...

Lets try this video instead.

Nevertobefoundi Crypticus? I learned binomial nomenclature while watching Wile E. Coyote.;)

I turned the news off.

It is horrible that something like this even happened. Those poor people! As a nation, we need to change our policies so this never happens again! I can't even take a guess to who it may be behind the bombings. Korea, north Africa, crazed patriots?

The other plants in the colony appeared to be less active.

I found a lone example this afternoon. A Pink is up, almost.

I know these don't count because they are not in bloom, but it is a start. Southern Twayblade (Listera australis) with bi-color leaves.

We were there around eleven and it was a full house. The cloud cover rolled in fast.:(

Hey!!!!! What did I ever do to you?!:D

It is Henbit.

Last year's very early blooms.

I didn't see any stalks beginning to emerge last weekend. This week's short heat wave may have helped with pushing a few up. Anytime now though... -No sign of Twayblade either.

Very cool! The Manapoqua Branch bogs appear to be active in the picture too.

I don't understand why there should be a fee for entering or reserving a site in a state park for a New Jersey resident, especially since it is our tax money that is the funding. I have never understood the fees for beach tags, camping sites, or rock climbing.

...but the state is saving money. http://www.nj.gov/governor/news/reports/pdf/2010709_NJ_Privatization_Task_Force_Final_Report_(May_2010).pdf

It was a great day to be out. Thanks for sharing your trek!

I know that the speed bumps serve a purpose and probably were requested, but the first thought that came to mind, when I saw the trio, was strip mall. I don't know why I thought that but I felt that they cheapened the character and identity of Chatsworth. As I drove through I was expecting to...

There are three of them and that annoys me three times as much. Wait until they are painted and it ruins the feel of the town even more. Enforcing the speed limit would solve the problem. The sign warning about speeding and meeting the judge doesn't deter a thing.

The back burn started from the fire cut that roughly splits the hills in half. The hill behind the Wharton sign wasn't touched. If you look closely in my picture you can see the crest of one of the hills as the "high" horizon.
