Water Lily - Deleware Water Gap

We had the visited Delaware Water Gap in June 2004 for a hiking vacation. It was a wonderful area with very nice hiking. This image was taken at a small lake at one of the trailheads during our hiking adventures. We didn't get to see the black bear that excited some hikers we passed headed in the opposite direction, but we got to see some vistas and this water lily.

Metzenbaum Park

These photos were taken at the park nearest our home. It is one of our favorite parks because it is near home; the dogs enjoy visiting; there are wonderful wildflowers; and the bird population is exceptional. Though only 68 acres, this park regularly has multiple scarlet tanagers, rufous-sided towhees, and owls mixing their calls with an abundance of more common birds in the area. These photos were taken in October 2002.
