Last week — that is, pre-strep throat attack — Chris and I went to the farmers market over by Rutgers Gardens. As long as I was there buying my strawberries and homemade cookies (sold by very sweet Amish woman), I decided to venture out with Chris into the bamboo forest, which I’d never been in before.

I could’ve done without the post-rain muddiness, but despite my hatred for squishy wet ground and getting wet outdoors in general, I wandered over to a little creek for some photographing. There’s something about fresh flowing water that always peaks my interest. It’s so pleasant I wish I could literally photograph the sound of it, but I suppose my camera would have to have some sort of neurological disorder for that to work. And last I checked, technology hadn’t advanced to the point of implanting brains in cameras, though I’m sure it’ll happen soon. In the meantime, regular old pictures will have to do.
After the bamboo forest, we decided to walk down one of the dirt paths and get a better look at the rest of Rutgers Gardens, which I took a few pictures of as well. There’s plenty to see, though, so we decided to leave the rest for another day…














I still don’t know what your problem with rain is…well I suppose in this case wetness…but whatever
Ahh, nature is so lovely in general. I’m such a city girl but even I’ve got to get out and go hiking and wandering in forests every once in awhile. Very refreshing.
Love the new blog!
This place looks lovely. Please take me here sometime.
