Pine Barrens Flora

You captured the essence of the Pine Barrens beautifully here, Sherry. That you mentioned in an above comment that it was “mysterious and spooky” is reflected in the photos. I really like all the flora photos here, especially the pussy toes, pitch pine and lichen.
Thanks Jet. Glad my photos managed to portray the mood.
What a lovely place for a hike! You’ve captured close-ups of these delicate flowers wonderfully.
Thank you. It is lovely this time of year. In the summer it get too hot.
I like the blooms and the lichen, and especially the woodland mystery paths.
The Pine Barrens feels mysterious and spooky to me. Not someplace I would like to be lost in. And it is easy to get lost there.
Like entering a book! Nice photos
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed them.
I may have asked you this and forgotten, but have you read John McPhee’s The Pine Barrens? It’s quite a good book, and it’s nice to have your images to go with it.
I haven’t read McPhee’s Pine Barrens yet. I will – thanks for the tip. I loved his Basin and Range and other books on Geology.
Interesting area
It is a unique habitat. 🙂
