The stars as seen at Bear Rocks Preserve in West Virginia. This was the first time in my life I could look up and see the Milky Way as it was so dark.

On occasion, my Flickr friends, I am going to post scanned images from a weeklong Nature Conservancy trip I took in February 1991 to the Peruvian Amazon. Our tour group stayed at Explorama Lodge, 50 miles down the Amazon River from Iquitos, and Explorama Camp, 95 miles from Iquitos.
These first images are of the Lodge. Established in 1965, the Lodge is the original and largest of Explorama's properties. The Lodge consists of palm-thatched houses on covered walkways with 10-17 sleeping rooms. Accommodations are delightfully "primitive" as there is no electricity or modern plumbing. Rooms are furnished with kerosene lamps, beds enclosed in mosquito netting, a basin and pitcher of water. Safe drinking water is available many places around the site. That week was a wonderful adventure in experiential learning!

The Nature Conservancy hosts a group of roughly 30 visitors for a vernal pool hike at Forest Pools Preserve, adjacent to Kings Gap State Park in Cumberland County, Pa., on March 25, 2016. Because vernal pools, or seasonal wetlands, dry up every year, they don't harbor fish and thus are critical habitat for many amphibian species. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

Abandoned lime kiln, Johnsonburg Swamp Preserve, Warren County.
Many years ago, farmers took advantage of the area's limestone-rich soil by burning the limestone in the kilns and spreading the ash, or quicklime, as fertilizer. Machines have long since replaced lime kilns; however, many of these relics survive in the dense forests that have reclaimed much of the farmland.
The Nature Conservancy owns and manages the preserve.

Stone arch bridge over Tunkhannock Creek, Monroe County, along Hypsie Gap Road.
