Update to Franklin Parker Preserve Photography 08-25-2022
I love Franklin Parker Preserve because of its great hiking trails. Hiking and taking pictures gives me great exercise and creates beautiful images, which connects me with nature.

Today, I flew the drone on this walk to get a higher perspective. I hope you enjoy my photographs.

New day at Franklin Parker Preserve, it was very windy so that ruled out aerial work. The wildlife consisted of some turtles and a couple of mallard ducks. I’m uploading these images and prints will be available on my gallery at https://luminous-art-gallery.com/shop/prints
Another day of photography at this expansive property, New Jersey Conservation Foundation’s largest, encompasses 15 square miles in the heart of the New Jersey Pine Barrens.
Franklin Parker Preserve is an 11,379 acre natural preserves located in the Pine Barrens in Chatsworth, New Jersey. The preserve links Brendan Byrne, Wharton, and Penn State Forests. Franklin Parker Preserve is owned and managed by New Jersey Conservation Foundation.

Reminds me of the local Pine Savannas here in coastal NC. We have large, shallow ponds called poccosins. The Lotus shot is outstanding. I also really like the first black and white as well as the color shot of the fern. They’re all good but those are my favorites.
Bob; thanks for the visit and info on the poccosins, I had never heard of them. Take care
A beautiful preserve and outstanding photos! You really captured the beauty of it.
Hello Sharon, thank you for the kind words and visit. It motives me to keep going and makes my day.
The drone certainly adds a wonderful perspective to your images. The third and the fourth images, to me, are truly outstanding. The color, detail and composition are spot on and the fact that they were shot “at altitude” means that no one else has that same view.
The closeup shots of the various flora in the Parker Preserve also add significant interest to this series of photographs.
Bill, thank you for the nice comments. The drone always surprises me with different images. I enjoy flying the drone. I’m not as good as I’d like to be. But, you need to fly every day to get better, and have greater fly skills.
Your visit is greatly appreciated.
I like the flower floating in the black water – very evocative. Looks like an interesting place to visit!
Steve, thanks for the comments, I’ve spent a lot of time there. I was chasing water lilies a while back. I never got a good lotus Blossom.
