Young Deer (Summer 2016) near Pond at Rifle Camp Park of Woodland Park NJ

                 Rifle Camp Park and the nearby Garret Mountain Reservation are great wooded parks for hiking and exploring the flora and fauna.  Situated along a mountainous ridge with stretches along the cliff tops with unobstructed open landscape across miles and miles of the New York City’s expansive metropolitan areas that also consist of Northeast New Jersey in this case, the views can be quite breathtaking throughout the year, and if during the magical early morning or late day hours, one is often treated to extraordinarily spectacular, sprawling landscape scenes topped off by the distant Manhattan Skyline.
     Living not too far from here, it is one of the places we go to do some good cardio exercises/routines.  The many trails and “off the beaten path” areas offer great opportunities for casual or rigorous, challenging hikes—not on a grand scale, of course, but the type that provides enough steep pitches to get the heart rate up and the burn in the legs and chest, getting one ready for the more serious hiking trails of widely known large mountainous sites.     
     But with the wildlife and beautiful setting, nature enthusiasts regularly visit these two parks for sheer enjoyment.  Photographers have endless options regarding the type of photos desired.
    This day was about capturing some of the wildlife near the large pond surrounded by woods and a ridge on one side.  The summer temperatures and sun brought out Dragonflies, Damselflies, Frogs, Chipmunks, Deer, and other critters.  Having limited time on this day, only a handful of the creatures were photographed, but just knowing that Rifle Camp offers something interesting to see in wildlife at almost any given time, the trips, however short or long, are rewarding.
