The Chestnut Branch is one of the major tributaries of Mantua Creek. Chestnut Branch flows a bit over seven miles from Glassboro to Mantua (New Jersey). Ceres Park Nature Reserve is one of the best places to get up close to Chestnut Branch.

Here’s a view of Chestnut Branch looking downstream. I took this photo earlier this month from the bank at the bottom of the main trail. My favorite time for visiting is mid-morning during the week. Most of the time, I have the park to myself. The only disturbance to the quiet is the traffic noise from Rt. 55, just outside the park.
Ceres is a delightful place for walking, contemplating and photography.
The curvature of that tree makes for a very interesting reflection.
It’s always nice when you get the place to yourself!
It is a pretty place and it looks supremely peaceful. I guess the road noise is inevitable these days, even in our paradises.
Very serene. A great shot!
Très jolie composition, bravo
Looks like a peaceful place; too bad about the traffic noise! This picture reminds me of something out of an old fashioned story book.
It does indeed look like such a peaceful place! Love the reflections on the water. Superb capture as always! Enjoy your weekend!

I love this…beautiful shot!
I really like the patterns made by the trees and their reflections. This looks great in black and white.
Difficult to imagine noise there..More easy to see myself getting lost among the trees..
It looks neglected in a nice kind of way.

This shot looks like one I might have seen one of our hikes. It is beautiful and perfect in black and white…nature at its best. Genie
How serene it must be to have the park all to oneself! Perfect for reflecting and capturing reflections.
Deep, dark, mysterious forest–perfect place to seek peace and quiet. Nice shot. Mickie
Gorgeous shot. Sounds like the perfect place for me.
Beautiful reflection, it makes an interesting pattern with the “original” trees.
The reflection blends into the actual scene very nicely. This is excellent!
