Wild Bluberry

I made this photo last week as I walked through a different section of the Pine Barrens. Blueberries grow wild in many parts of Long Island; we have two very large bushes on the property line between my sister-in-laws house and ours. We've never been able to harvest and berries though, the birds get them before we do.

Saturday I purchased a Blueberry bush at a local nursery. I'm crazy to think that I'll be able to get berries before the birds do, but I'm gonna try.

Driving Through The Pine Barrens

 

Driving home today I realized I didn't have anything to post today. So I thought I'd make a photo of the pine barrens. I know I've mentioned this part of my journey in other blog posts. This is the water shed area for Long Island. Rain water is filtered through the hundreds of acres of undeveloped pine barrens and becomes our drinking water. This is the reason it stays undeveloped.

A few years ago, while taking Brian up to Potsdam for school, we passed the building of a wind farm in Clinton County New York. The windmills were build on farm lands. To me, they looked awesome.

I often wonder why they can't build windmills in the pine barrens. I can't believe it would effect the ground water.

I used the Canon G10 and processed it with Photoshop.
