Nature Done Wright

"In August the marshes are as remarkable for their flowers as for their birds," the great Frank Chapman once wrote of the Meadowlands more than a century ago.

"The great rose mallow is doubtless the most beautiful as it is also one of the most abundant species, acres sometimes being pink with the bell-shaped flowers."

I took the photo above on a recent trip to the Meadowlands' DeKorte Park with Bergen County Camera.
