Near the End of Bulls Island (Weekend Reflections # 76)

Stockton, New Jersey (Bulls Island State Park)

The weather was beautiful last Saturday so Vicki and I decided to take a drive along the Delaware River. The Delaware River divides New Jersey and Pennsylvania so we made stops back and forth between the two states. That's Vicki in front of me enjoying the scenery. New Jersey is on the left and Pennsylvania is on the right. It was a nice snow covered walk to get to this spot and once again we had it all to ourselves.

Now lets have some fun with Weekend Reflections!

    Cool shot, James. Looks like maybe it's warming up a little bit, but I see the ice on the right side!

    James, Beautiful blue! I love this. Interesting, on the left water is still and mirrors the scenary, but on the right there are ripples.
    Have a great weekend!

    Great shot James. Putting Vicki in the photo is the finishing touch. The textures of the trees, stones and the clouds are excellent and the reflections -- yes!

    It's not so usual to be pictured between two states!Funny idea, and great result! (Vicki seems sooooo young!!)

    This is what I like: water and nature reflected in it! Actually I did the same!
    Have a great weekend, James!

    Looks like a lovely place to walk and I like the difference in the water texture from one side to the other.
    Enjoy your weekend!

    P.S. I have to go on a 'reflection hunt', haha!

    I saved back a photo specially to join in with Weekend Reflections but, when I posted it, I realised it is not a reflection . . . at least, I don't think it is!

    I like this picture, the dock is between two worlds : the calm reflection and the Restless. And the woman in pink like a stranger in this land … Which will she choose?

    Nice shot along the river! Snow and cold certainly reduce the crowds (except at ski slopes!).

    Beautiful reflections as you stand on this "state divide." This is a wonderful spot regardless of the season and I can see why it is a favorite.

    Bon weekend,

    Beautiful shot! A river is often the demarcation between states. Vicki appears to be standing in two states at the same time. The Colorado river is a boundary between CA and AZ, but you can't stand on both sides at the same time! Lovely reflections.

    Looks like a gorgeous spot. And Vicki isn't likely to get mistaken for a deer there. So why's it called Bulls Island ?
