Lone tree at Franklin Parker preserve

On November 4 I hiked the blue trail in Franklin Parker preserve. It was a great day to be in the Pinelands of NJ. I got lots of healing energy from mother nature. Please enjoy my photographs and leave comments.

White’s bog is one of my favorite locations in the Pinelands of New Jersey. It was home to Dorothy White, who hybridized the Blueberry for the Department of Agriculture. This photograph was taken at sunset.
