While taking a walk the other day I enjoyed how the top of this maple started turning while the bottom was still green. I was almost as if someone was painting each brand one by one from the top down.

OK it wasn’t a big snake. Maybe 12 inches long. I suspect it was a garden snake. It was on the path we were walking on.

I had the opportunity to take a short photo hike at Merrill Creek this past weekend with my oldest daughter.
The park is starting to show some fall color. The area as a whole is still a week or two behind schedule in my opinion.
Rest of the photos can be seen here.

Found right next to the Field House at Spruce Run reservoir in Clinton, NJ
I immediately want to get up to the top to use it as a photography point. But I didn’t see any way to get up there from the two rooms below (which are rest rooms). So I left baffled. Then I read a post on a nearby display area that showed an old drawing. On the drawing was a staircase on the outside on the wall showing in this picture. I guess it either became unsafe from a structure point of view or just plain safety as I’m sure kids would try and hang out up there.
