I spent a few hours at the Great Swamp NWR yesterday.
It was bleak.
It was quiet.
It was cold.
It was snow covered.
It was empty.
It was wonderful.
I was in the middle of one of the most populated places in the United States. And I felt completely alone.
(And afterwards food and friends at the NJAS Citizen Science holiday party. Where is was nice and warm. :-)

What a treasure, lucky you (and all of us)
Wow, this is just drop dead gorgeous - I love the beauty of silence!
Sounds like fun!
(see any good birds?)
@ Tammy and Ellen, thank you.
@ Laura, no, there were very few birds about. A northern shrike was seen where I took the picture, but not by me. (I was sure I'd spotted an owl nestled against a tree trunk, hidden in the branches of an evergreen. Alas when a bluejay landed on it I was forced to reconsider.)
