Just a few pictures I've taken at a nearby park called Natirar. It is a 400-acre nature preserve that was a part of the estate of Walter and Kate Macy Ladd, and later acquired by King Mohammed VI of Morocco. There is a wonderful two-mile walking loop through gently rolling hills. A branch of the Raritan River flows through the park. (Note: Natirar is Raritan spelled backwards.) Follow this link to read more about the park, and see a few pictures of the Ladd home.

ReplyDeleteThe park is absolutely gorgeous and your photos are amazing. What kind of camera do you use? I'm in the process of checking out several before I buy a new one. I have loved the one I have but it's time to upgrade a bit.

Very striking in the black & white. Great for the weather, too. And I love the link that you put to the park. I've heard of the Raritan River but never knew of the park or the estate.
