It could be a roost ring following the front or a convection echo. If it isn't a cumulus field then we should wear our foil hats. Run away!:D

Terrific! I know of a few narrow mountainside lanes like the one captured and do same thing the sleigh riders are doing, hug the inside shoulder. The stacked fence on the steep slope must have been interesting to build on such a steep pitch.

I just found about this at lunch time. A bug in Mac OS X has been found. Apparently if you type "File:///" minus the quote marks on a Mac running the Mountain Lion operating system will crash your computer. The capital "F" is an important factor and by the time you hit the third "/" down...

Something is funky with their story. The couple was hunting turtles at night, with the temperature in the teens, and in the dead of Winter. They must have blurted out the first thing that came to mind when questioned. The Passaic River is quite nice once you get above Route 80. It is the last...

I am glad everyone is enjoying the photograph. Thank you for the kind words and it is a pleasure for me to share a moment that I captured.:)

As serious as a crime as this is, the details are comical. I am sure her ears were ringing! Some people....ugh.

Geezer, this cloudy morning, I managed to capture a picture of the Sharp-shinned hawk that has been a resident of the neighborhood for several years now. This raptor will sit patiently for hours in the small Dogwood that grows in my side yard waiting for the moment to capture his meal. Usually...

Piker, it is just another bump in the road! I am glad you bounced back! I have had a few vivid hallucinations before but for me it usually involved large amounts of alcohol and several "beautiful" hens I fancied and pursued in a drinking establishment.:D

Great report Teegate! I have been there a few times and a keen eye can still find bricks and pieces of farm equipment rotting away in the area. This may have been discussed before, but are the two large grey monuments from a cemetery? There are several stone works close to my neighborhood and...

Hunterdon Medical Center recently discovered a new disease that can be transmitted by Deer Ticks. We have to be more concerned with our safety, as the list grows longer for tick born diseases, and put more effort into protecting ourselves. What other option is there...

I read an article in PCWorld that Microsoft wants to topple Google Maps. Several months ago Microsoft added 165 terabytes of new satellite imagery to Bing Maps and Google countered by adding 3D landmarks to its service. The outcome of better and more detailed imagery from both companies is...

A very nice series Manu! Walking Friendship and the neighboring bogs is a joy during the colder months. You never know what waterfowl you will see and the ice covering adds to the scenic views. It is good news that your pooch will be OK. Have you tried grooming Sophie's paws? Her fur may be...

Thank you for posting this image! Howell Living Farm has an event showcasing the use of horses in ice cutting operations on their pond. The farm's draft horses working the ice is an awesome sight! The special care and equipment needed was a surprise, especially the range of the horse's...

Teegate, did you get to hold the owl?

Your guess is as good as any other MarkBNJ! It is difficult to tell though because the holes are filled with water. There are several other cellar holes in the area or at what at least appears to be cellar holes. I counted four plus the odd grouping of small holes just beyond the pits. There...

The move to change jurisdiction may have to do with funding and enforcement. In the past couple years the DEP has past the authority to enforce some laws over to local municipalities. One example is the local health inspectors now enforce commercial pesticide applicator laws. Take notice of the...

Teegate, was there ever a smaller sawmill associated with the activity pertaining to the cranberry bog operations? I am referring to the concrete slab and square with four bolts in it very close to Carranza Road with in the "buildings".

Very good, Pinelandpaddler. I just purchased "Iron In the Pines" today. I should have started with this book first. It is a proper beginning, early New Jersey industry 101 has begun for me.

No matter if I have a backpack or a fanny pack, I always have the basic kit on me. I may add to it, depending on how long I will be out, but the essentials are always packed. My short kit is: a knife, multitool, medikit, fire steel, polarshield, energy bars and a small light. I have found that...
