    Snakes

    Emile actually works for the New Jersey Conservation Foundation. He really believes in what he's saying. He is guileless. We have to consider that not everyone is like us; they don't feel the freedom we get from roaming the roads, stopping to explore whatever interests us. For people like me...

    Snakes

    I like Emile too, even though I don't share his views all the time. He is a funny guy, and can take a ribbing too.

    Scott, you may have reached this site, but if not, this statement therein should give you confidence..."Maitake / Hen of the Woods is a very distinctive species with no dangerous "look-alikes" (assuming that one discounts gilled mushrooms that grow in clusters), making it a very good choice for...

    Pine Barren Flora

    Yesterday was a good exploring day, not too hot. But the flies got real bad and I was stung by a bee on the inside of my finger (you know how that smarts). The Turks Cap lily was 7 feet tall--along the Papoose Branch, which I followed down to its confluence with the Oswego, the Jewel of the...

    Windows 10

    Update: I've had Windows 10 and Firefox since May. I'm really happy with both. My explorer virtually never freezes and they have a cool pop-up that comes up and asks if you want to use Flash just this one time for the window you are on (and they only do it if you need to see the video). I find...

    Where is this?

    Where is this. I'm sure many of you pass by it at least once a year. It is off a dirt road, about 30 feet from the road.

    Where is this?

    I'm sorry. I post these, and forget because I don't get a lot of guesses. The location of this tumbled shack is only 450 feet from the back end of the board walk at Webb's Mill. Suprising to me since I've lived here over 30 years, and did not notice it. I entered from the back by the notorious...

    Hot Day Exploring!

    Guy, did she learn that from you? :) Do I see Narthecium right in front of her shirt? Did she have to get that close a look at it?

    Mannis Duck Pond is turning green

    That much pollen this late in the year seems odd. Did you notice any smell? I suppose with no flow it's possible after many days of being stagnant.

    Mannis Duck Pond is turning green

    Ed, any way you could tell what the color was? I'd think pollen, but maybe not. If pollen, what species?

    Phytoplankton bloom off the coast

    Scott, I don't understand what you are saying. Is a lump a hump of sand? If so, why would the water be clear just over the lump?

    Pine Barren Flora

    Way past 4 July now! I found several Drosera filiformis flowers of that color in one location. There is something behind that. Key me in.

    That ones gonna be a winner Guy! Measure the inflorescence when it's full, and we'll see if it can be topped in the future.

    Where is this?

    No, have not yet tried historic aerials, maybe tonite. And no, not in a blueberry field. It's within about 70 feet from a stream.

    Where is this?

    Here is an odd one. I'm surprised I did not know about this. It's in a pristine area.
