Finally Snow! 3
previous / nextThis is a view of Hoffman Park from up at the entrance taken from the parking area looking toward Manny's Pond on the left and Heron Rd. in the middle of the frame. Off in the distance, after the tree line, and before the mountain on the left you can see Spruce Run Reservoir. The farmhouse from the previous photo would be over my right shoulder, behind, and above me.
I rarely saw my Aunt's Farm in winter since she spent her winters in Florida and Nassau in the Bahamas. We only spent summers there when I was little. In fact I actually don't remember ever seeing it with a blanket of snow. The transformation is wonderful!
My Aunt and Uncle started aquiring properties in the county in the 1930's. They would lease the land to farmers for livestock (cattle) at a monthly per animal rate. They owned land in four other townships in Hunterdon County as well as in Florida and the Bahamas. My Uncle was one of the Hoffman's from the Hoffman Beverage Company from many years ago.
As I have mentioned before here, the farm and her other properties in the county were transferred to the county by my Aunt with the stipulation that it remain "pristine parklands".

These are beautiful shots Laurie. I have to say...the snow is so pretty but I don't want any here! :) Thanks for your visit to my blog.
Wow, terrific shot Laurie. It's beautiful on many levels.
lovely again... you're lucky to have caught such pristine snow..
This is a gorgeous capture. It should make a beautiful print.
Laurie, very serene and beautiful image.
This is lovely!
What a beautiful place... doesn't it hurt that your Aunt give it all away?
An extraordinary view. Love the tree.
Wonderful tones for this beautiful and serene landscape!

Beautiful wintery shot and I'm so glad land is set aside to be kept in its original state. This land is like a picture postcard.
Perfect composition, luv it!
The last couple of images have been incredible Laurie, not sure what it is but I think the soft processing may be the key for me. Whatever it is, great stuff.
Nice shot Laurie.
composition and tone are greats.
bravo
