Well, I was hoping to post pics from PA, NJ, NY and CT but I really have to get back on the trail. So these are just some PA and NJ picks. Yes, I know I had all weekend at home…but I procrastinated. It happens. I’ll upload more soon. This time I promise!

Michael, All your photos say “summer” and “happy.” Maybe because it is and you are. My favorites besides the ones of you two are Pond in Morning and Sunset in Jersey.
Stay well and keep bears at a distance…
It is, and I am!
