A broken elbow (finally healed) has caused me to sit and review the past 11 months of photos, and I found these shots.

Yesterday morning, I heard the very loud bleating of what sounded like a fawn at the front of my house. I ignored it but the bleating continued and got louder. I opened the front door and saw a red fox on my front walk. He saw me and trotted away, and I walked toward him, with my phone, trying...

Click bait unintended, I was unable to take my camera off the tripod fast enough to get a shot. In October I was in the dark under trees and I heard a wet chuffing sound in the river, a few feet away. An otter popped way out of the water and stared at me for a few seconds. I could see his breath...

Beaver Moon on Monday evening and Blood Moon on Tuesday morning.

Politics of the roads aside...

Various rivers, creeks and branches in no particular order.

Late winter and early spring from various rivers and creeks

A notable stream and an abandoned farmhouse on the way into the forest.

I have been exploring Pineland streams recently. I am fascinated by the marsh, wetlands, savannahs, and swamps (some cedar and some maple) that border them. Hard to access in the dark but worth the effort. I've waded a few and crossed some in hip boots. I bought a small fishing kayak a few...

I focused my energies on really trying to get a good representation of autumn this year. I am familiar enough with the forest that I think I'm making some progress at last. I helped a Rutgers environmental grad first day on the job who made the mistake of driving on one of the worst roads in the...

Shortly after reading Guy's post about the bear sighting on Bozarthtown Rd I was hiking down a dark trail at 4:30 in the morning. Bordered by blueberry bushes and Atlantic White Cedar it was a 3/4 mile hike to my new favorite spot, the creek of turtles. Plus a shot from a bit further north at...

Shots from end of March to the present.

I missed a shot of an otter that swam right up to me. I saw the ice moving and he popped up 50 feet away, and came within 15 feet. I was so surprised that by the time I grabbed my camera he was gone.

In a fairly remote area that I have been repeatedly traveling to, I noticed a hunter had set up an automatic deer feeder that sprayed corn, and two deer stands in trees. Sometime in October, I was driving down a "main" a road to the narrow sand road that twisted and turned up to the deer...

Went out again, early morning. I thought I heard something moving... downstream... probably just wind rustling the cedar.
