Swampy marsh...

After our bird rescue and subsequent drive into the swamplands of New Jersey (it is really beautiful) we decided to take a walk through the wilds of the Great Swamp National Park. OK, so my son and I decided to walk. My husband decided to sit it out in the car because we had forgotten bug spray and it was REALLY hot and muggy: hard to argue with that logic, really.

They have wooden, some faux wooden, walking paths and bird blinds for watchers and want to be watchers. Sometimes you see snakes and other fauna. Lots of flora, too, which you know I like. Two miles and some pesky bug bites later we came back to my comfortable, cool, and unscathed husband with stories of ants building condos in semi-dead trees and a small water snake that was cleverly hidden in the water plants. Actually, if we saw him, maybe he wasn’t so clever. June 26th
