Hanging onto summer for dear life.

Here are the things I do to pretend Summer isn't coming to a close because even though Fall is great, next up is Winter and Winter is the WORST.

Group rides with the Rutgers' team that I tag along for.

Beach day at Sandy Hook. Hurricane Sandy tried to destroy it but it should know Jersey better than that.

You're lucky I didn't include the picture of the guy in the thong walking down this scenic site.

The beachiest babe.

Wildflowers and sand dunes.

Camping at Stokes State Forest, and a rare New Jersey vista.

Insect collecting on a chilly morning

The beaver pond.

A millipede (not an insect, but a cool creature feature none-the-less).

Tillman's Ravine is the prettiest and Paul is the manliest.

Loving the old stone walls from once-upon-a-time farms that are scattered through the forest.

Teaching a new set of insect collectors how it's done.

And last, but not least, match-time with Kate at church before we have to wear tights and sweaters.
