Nurturing Nature

I don't think I'll have a problem writing a nature essay as most of mine ideas have been about nature in some aspect. But the topic of choice seems to be a problem. I have plenty of ideas to write about but have not really settled on one.

There's a resevior down Rte. 22 in Hunterdon County that would be an interesting topic. I remember my grandfather used to take my cousin and me to it. This resevior is said to be a flooded valley, and houses rest at the bottom of it. I wonder if this is true and what the circumstances around it were at the time. Though, this would be more of an exploratory than about nature, I think.

I could cope out and write about something up by the lake house. The gorge is always full of wonder. Various waterfalls are up here too. Hmm?

I could write about a park near my house that I've explored almost inside and out.

There's some trails that lead to the little league field. I'm surprised that this hasn't been bulldozed and turned into townhouses or something.

I can talk about canoeing down the Delaware-Raritan Canal.

Floods always happen around my area after periods of heavy rains. Are we getting too close to the waterfronts? Have the flood plains been over-developed?

I'm not really sold on anything yet. Maybe I should go hiking and just write what I see and form my essay off of that.

Or maybe I should focus on the season fall as it currently absorbs us.

Grr...
