The weather has been muggy and overcast with scattered rain, quite a lot of it actually since around the middle of last week. It just has not been very nice at all. Despite the weather people were still out and about determined to eek out some summer recreation wherever and whenever they could.

We took a ride out to PA and ended up rained out pretty much. We decided duck into a brew pub for a quick bite and a beer while we waited out the rain. The rain let up some but it was still drizzly so we called it for the day.

On the way home as we neared Round Valley the weather perked up a bit. Well, at least it stopped pouring, and even stopped drizzling. So we decided to take a ride down to the boat launch and look at the reservoir to see if there was anything interesting. It was pretty quiet but there were a few hearty souls determined to enjoy the day by pursuing their hobbies, fishing and boating.

This was shot at about 8:30 on Saturday evening. The light was fading fast but it was really quite pleasant there.

I was going through some of my old photos from last summer and came across this one that I'd forgotten about. Well better late than never right? So here is one last memory of summer to enjoy.

This was shot at Manny's Pond in Hoffman Park in Hunterdon County NJ. I love this place for the wonderful memories it holds from when I was a child and the property was a farm that belonged to my Aunt. I regularly fell into Manny's Pond when fishing as a little girl.

This shot was taken Saturday at Ken Lockwood Gorge in Hunterdon County NJ. It is a lovely spot where you can go fishing, hiking, biking, and generally exploring. Needless to say there were many people out enjoying the gorgeous weather. The water was pretty turbulent, murky, and muddy from some wicked near monsoon weather we had on Wednesday and then again on Friday. I went with black and white for this because the water looked much more pleasing in black and white as opposed to muddy in the color version.

The dog in this photo was having a grand old time running around all over the park. No one knew who he belonged to and of course the fishermen were rather purturbed that he was in and out of the water scaring off the fish. We were asked several times if it was our dog and of course it isn't. I got the feeling that at least one particularly annoyed fisherman didn't believe us when we said it wasn't ours.

This was shot on an early October evening just around sunset in Highlands. It's a popular spot among the locals to go and fish. I don't know how that sailboat came to be wrecked there, but I can tell by the looks of it that it was a nice vessel at one time, not terribly old, and I'm sure someone was not too happy about it. You can see other shots from the same day and location here and here.

I've been seriously lacking inspiration lately. I'm not sure why, perhaps the rather gray uninspiring weather and being too busy with other things to get out and shoot, but it's been difficult to find things that I want to shoot and or post. I hope this "funk" lifts soon and I get that old thrill back again. In the meantime I hope you will all bear with me and not get too terribly disappointed.
