New Jersey is not all Tony Soprano and malls. It is known as the Garden State. There are some lovely areas. Here are just a few of the ones Mr. Ken and I experienced on our recent trip to New Jersey.
The view from where we stayed.
Another view of a lovely large weeping pine tree near where we stayed.
We also went for a lovely walk along Loantaka Brook Reservation. You’d never know you were in a very built up area when walking here!
The walk was so interesting because you went through forests and fields. Here’s a field.
Some pretty flowers along our walk.
Where have you found nature in unexpected places?
