Last weekend, my family and I visited Hacklebarney State Park in Long Valley, NJ. One thing I have been doing more and more is to take pictures in manual mode. I didn’t bring a tripod but managed to steady the camera on the railing of a bridge and take this picture of Trout Brook as it flows into the Black River.

Yes, it’s such a lovely place to hike and picnic although we had forgotten that it would be a little crowded due to Memorial Day weekend. But most people stay in the picnic areas not the trails.

Nice!! I haven’t been to this park yet–but now I shall go this summer. Have you ever gone to the blueberry farms in south NJ? I’d like to do that sometime, too–especially since blueberries are our state fruit! [my recent post on ‘blue’ would explain why, if you don’t already know]. Thank you, lovely lady. 🙂

Though Hacklebarney is lovely all year round, the best times to visit are spring and fall. I have never been to a blueberry farm in South Jersey but we are growing a few blueberry bushes in our garden this year and hope to get our first (small) crop. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
