    Hey, you're gonna get chiggers!

    Three times this week I wanted to shout out the window of my car at people I saw...."Hey, you're gonna get chiggers!" One guy I saw tonite by the golf course in Toms River was waist high in the heavy brush along the fairway (with shorts on) looking for a ball. On the Marlton Circle (the...

    The Great Pine Barrens Wilderness Game

    How's this for a way for us to get in the woods more? There is a "drop team' and the "lost team" (the lost team can be just one person). All meet at a location of the drop teams choosing. The lost team is blindfolded by the drop team, who proceeds to drive the lost team to a chosen...

    Mid-Summer, Cool Weather, Dusk, No bugs, Clear Sky

    You cannot beat it. I was out last night along the Webbs Mill Branch. I didn't want to go home. I may spend a couple hours watching the sun go down tonite out at the Pygmy Pines along 72 (along one of those beautiful white sand trails). Makes for a good start to the work week and nice photos. If...

    Photographing Blues

    I really wish I were a better photogropher. I came across these white orchids on Cedar Creek, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't capture what I wanted the image to look like. It is rare to come across a setting like this, there are seven orchids on one grass hummock, and three of...

    August weather in July

    It has occurred to me that we are experiencing typical South Jersey August weather here in July. I always find August to be tropical and steamy. Perhaps we will get a flip this year and August will be like July is normally; dry and hot? That would make me very happy... 8)

    Snakes and Snake Hunting

    Up the Cedar

    Cedar Creek has some good features many other Pine Barren streams do not. First, no active bogs dump into it where we canoe. Also, it is a clear and fast running stream due to its short length and the pristine headwaters area. The cedar seems to gain a lot of its strength directly from the...

    Trashing of the Pines

    Its bad enough when people trash the pines, but when the county does it too, its outrageous. I have stopped this before by writing a lot of letters, and now they are doing it again. Ocean County fills in roadside shoulders by mixing up its street sweepings with residential yard waste. The...

    Lacey Bear Treed

    I chased the famous Lacey bear up a tree tonite. He did not seem too aggressive at first, but then he started grunting with those red eyes, and I backed away real slow and deliberate like. When I was out of his sight I ran all the way home...

    Bearless

    I'm really sorry it had to happen this way. He surprised me when I was looking over some young orchids. I turned around and he rushed me. He fought valiantly, but was unable to overcome my superior strength and quickness. Everyone always said I had a mean right hook...
