“You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot prevent spring from coming.” – Pablo Neruda
Marking another trip around the sun and celebrating spring, I tried a new hike, Brink Rd Access Loop near Newton, NJ. It was easy to follow, with great views from the ridge portion. I only saw 2 other hikers, and got to see 2 fluffy white tail deer.
There were plenty of vignettes to sketch, so I took lots of photos, and these small images were a result of quick lines and color to reflect what I most enjoyed here. I hope you enjoy them too.

The view of the lake brings a calm mind, then excitement, when you realize a bald Eagle is within camera view! Here’s a few snapshots grabbed before he took off….
Hope you’re enjoying my new home adventures and discoveries!
