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.

I will continue to explore the New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve heavily forested area of coastal plain stretching across more than seven counties of southern New Jersey of for fine art photography of both landscapes and plant life.
Franklin Parker Preserve – Aerial Photo
I love hiking and forest bathing in Franklin Parker Preserve. It is the road less traveled to quote some unknown author.
This shot was taken of the west branch of a branch of the Wading river in late afternoon.
This location is a great place to meditate because of the silence that can be found there.
Please leave comments they are much appreciated.

SITE DESCRIPTION: The acquisition of the Franklin Parker Preserve in 2003 by the New Jersey Conservation Foundation was a momentous occasion in conservation. This 9400 acre preserve is a keystone piece of land, linking the expanses of Brendan Byrne, Wharton, and Penn State Forests and creating a more contiguous, and therefore more viable, Pinelands National Reserve. Franklin Parker Preserve offers access to a wide variety of Pine Barrens habitat by way of sand roads. Pitch-pine forests and cedar swamps are joined by blueberry fields, lakes, and pristine tributaries of the Wading River. The former cranberry bogs are currently being restored to a variety of native wetland habits. The preserve is home to an impressive array of rare flora and fauna, including numerous State threatened and endangered species, and even some nationally and globally rare species. This is also a great area for stargazing.
