Driving Around Makepeace Lake by hjbenson

Driving Around Makepeace Lake

I figured that I would drive out to Makepeace Lake http://www.njwildlifetrails.org/PineBarrensTrails/Sites/tabid/1698/Scope/site/Guide/PINEBARREN/Site/374/Default.aspx for my photo today. Even though it was humid the calmness of this place is very inviting as I spent some time out here. Best Viewed Large

Henry are you still having hot and humid weather? here we feel the coming fall in the air. cool night and mornings. this morning it was only 13 degrees..brr we're not used to the cooler wetter yet. I had to laugh
when I read about the antics of the squirrels..that's exactly what we call their fun behavior. great shot at the right moment..

This comment was actually meant for your other picture I'm sure you're aware of. actually a bit of both as the humidity in the air was mention in the above picture.. it looks like a very nice place. love the reflection of the sky in the water and the yellow road.

@pamfromcalgary Thank you Pam, it is a very pretty location
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian, I try to come out here at least every fortnight

@bruni Thank you Bruni, it is still very humid here and we are going up to 33 C for the next couple of days. Gail and I enjoy watching the squirrels antics, we have quite a few that we see every day - you have to be careful driving

@bruni Thank you Bruni, before I retired I would drive by here - but on the paved road, not the wood's trails - every day. It was about 40 km to the college I taught at and I would not see 25 cars.
