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.
Good Morning Sunshine! I love photos in black and white.....they are so ...classy :-) Rosie

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.
