Dreams of Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge
By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft
We're waiting for dreams of spring to come true. While all is still dormant, I want to show you one of my favorite haunts, the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in Morris and Somerset counties, New Jersey.
I especially enjoy being in my other favorite haunt, New York City, with its crowded sidewalks and bustling millions in the morning, and taking a solitary ramble in the Great Swamp in the afternoon.
Say, be a great help and sign up to follow my blog! Thanks!
What color combinations nature gives us!
The far reaches of the swamp, still showing the impact of Superstorm Sandy.
More Sandy damage.
Fabulous lichens.
Growth rings, stress marks, grays and browns.
This is called "Plymouth Wreck" on the maps. Every year it's a little more sunken, more decrepit. How did it get here, in the middle of all these big trees? A mystery of the Swamp. How about you? Do you like to wander alone in the woods? Or in cities? Or both? Comment below!
