Shane Branch in the Pinelands

Wandering the Pine Lands aka Pine Barrens, I was called to this location again. I saw this river, I think it is the Shane Branch.

Within the Pine Barrens there are four major river systems. Each of these river systems drain an area of land known as watersheds. This includes stormwater runoff from natural areas as well as developed areas. Runoff from developed areas not only contains various contaminants, but results in higher than normal flows in streams and tributaries.

New Flight

 

Here we go, I have been absent for the Pines because of tick bites and Lyme’s disease, but Dr Rawl got me back no fear. I love this image and it has a lot of my feelings connected to this place. I hope you enjoy this peace and quit place with me.

Bye for Now
