The "real" New Jersey in March, grey sky/brown landscape!
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
It's good to see the real thing. And I like it very much.

@Michael Skorulski: Thank you, Michael. We had very little snow this winter, all winter was grey skies and brown landscape. I'm dying for some green!!!
@Lorraine: It is lovely, Lorraine. But I'm so tired of brown and grey and very little sunshine.

Looks like end of April to me..... Almost ready for the mosquito season!

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: Must be a very late spring for you, by the end of April this will be green! We have more gnats than mosquitos, either are very annoying! :-)
Chris from South Jersey, United States
Yep, looks familiar!!! We are starting to see some green grass now but the trees are still bare. I like the reflections in your image - nicely done.

@Chris: Thanks, Chris. I noticed today that the grass is a "little" green. We have a long way to go yet.
Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
Looks very familiar to me too... maybe New Jersey isn't so far away after all! I'll be hitting the woods here later today in search of images.

@Earnest: Hope you found some good images!
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
So that is the real New Jersey beach scene :-) I am waiting for our snow and ice to recede so that I can get shots like that.

@Michael Rawluk: And you thought there was sand and waves!!! :-) I'm waiting for all of it to turn green!
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
I love how the green in the reflection seems multiplied ......... spring is on its way!

@Judy: It's here, but you wouldn't know it by the weather! Although, today we did have bright sunshine. Started getting cloudy around 7 PM.
alex centrella from fresno, United States
although i was born in NJ, nice to see that cold day along the water..

@alex centrella: Bet you don't miss New Jersey? :-)
@MJ: Thanks, MJ. This is Merrill Creek heading toward the reservoir. It's been running high even without the flooding.
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
It looks very damp and grey, and you have really caught it as it should be seen. Nice work.

@Richard_Irwin: Thank you.
Anita from West Nottingham, United States
Good capture of our area of the world in March! I like the composition, the inclusion of water and a few cypress for color. Very nice!

@Anita: Thank you, Anita.
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
A person that can take a photo like this one is a person that enjoys walking in the wild, that loves Nature. Beauty is not synonym of green and beautiful landscape doesn't mean Summertime

@António Pires: Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I really appreciate it.
