NJ Road Trip part 2


Just a quick wrap on the write up on NJ trout streams - here's a photo of Mary and Larry looking out at some of the pools in the river we visited and hiked. Since we were taking our walk in the afternoon, after 3pm, the sun had started to descend in the sky, and some of the trout were beginning to rise in front of rocks in the stream.


We saw a couple get into a little skirmish for a prime spot, and the river started to come alive in general. Alas the limitations of the motocam - the zooms of the fish did not come out, nor did the photo of the lounging snake, perched on a rock in the river. (Sorry, but a wiki search has not revealed the species of the uniquely colored, reddish brown snake...)


Also, a treat - one of Larry's paintings. He is a landscape painter whose work has focused on the Cape Cod area for a few years. He was putting his summer trip to the Cape together and showed us the canvases that will be on display in the galleries this summer. The road trip up will take place this week - besides the drive and load in and out of paintings, there is a significant surfing stop (he is a long time surfer, having started in the late 60's and early 70's down on the shore - Long Branch area, which is close by Asbury Park for Springsteen fans.
Here is a bio with some additional paintings: http://www.kendallartgallery.com/bio-szycher.htm

I have one more post about the road trip, will add it later in the week.
