Photo of an old "Posted: No Trespassing" sign I came across while walking our dog down our gravel mountain road in the Great North Woods of New Hampshire.

You never know what you'll come across in these woods while out doing something as simple as walking a dog.

Product Recommendation

2009-08-18T07:48:00.001-04:00

I LOVE Scott Kelby. His writings are not only informative and educational, but humorous as well. For some reasons, studying one of his books does not feel so much like you're trying to learn something - but simply a good read that you come away knowing more from. Excellent photography tips and education combined with a great writing style is a winning combination!

Check out the package of his three volumes of Digital Photography soon to be released. Good Stuff indeed!

The Worlds Worst Weather

Photo of Mt. Washington - notice how it is clear everywhere except at the summit.

This is why it's home to world's worst weather.

First Moose

2009-07-06T07:53:00.005-04:00

So yesterday evening after a full day of unpacking we were out driving through Crawford Notch State Park and low and behold we came across our first Moose since moving to Coos County!

The most amazing thing about this unfortunately wasn't the animal - but the people. Cars began to slam on their brakes and tourists jumped out of their cars and began approaching the animal to photograph him. We were only there about 30 seconds when at least 10 cars had stopped as well as a "moose viewing bus". Once the bus unloaded it was way past my cue to leave - I can't stand that kind of stuff. To be honest with you it seemed kind of stupid to me to allow about 40 people to approach a large, wild animal like that. What if the moose got spooked (after all, I already was!) and began to panic. Isn't there a risk of somebody getting hurt? I mean this is a BIG animal.

I felt so bad for the animal in the long run that I didn't hang around - just grabbed a couple of quick shots from my car across the road and then, as I already mentioned, when the crowd began to gather I simply got out of there. Just not my style.

Anyway - enjoy a couple of the so-so shots I got. I didn't make an effort at this one - just stopped the car and snapped it for our own scrapbook purposes. I'll make an effort at getting some real photos of the wildlife up here when there aren't a ton of tourists around trying to do the same thing ... too weird.

New Hampshire Move-in

2009-07-05T07:55:00.005-04:00

Well, we finally made it to New Hampshire!!!

We are currently renting a home on top of a "hill" here in the Great North Woods of New Hampshire. We are just North of the White Mountains up in Coos county and it is stunningly beautiful here!

Below are a few photos of our new location:

This first one is the view off the deck of our new home....

And this one is the view of the morning clouds settled in among the surrounding hills and mountains. This shot was taken out my bedroom window:

The last photo is a shot I took from a room at the hotel my husband works at here:

Told you it was beautiful!! Finally some peace and quiet and some quality "alone" time with nature. I'm so excited to get settled in and get out and explore the area. Can't wait to go hiking.

Be back soon and watch for further updates!!!

Update: Giclee Print now available of the above photo "White Mountains on a Cloudy Day".

Thunder Hole I

2009-06-10T08:56:00.001-04:00

Black & White photo of Acadia National Park's awesome "Thunder Hole".

Thunder Hole is an area where the land & sea meet and due to the unique land formation in this area, including an underground cavern, when the sea hits it can sometimes replicate the sound of "thunder" - giving the location it's name.

Acadia Stone Bridge I

One of the stone bridges that are part of the 45 miles of Carriage Roads winding through Acadia National Park on Mt. Desert Island, Maine. These roads & bridges were financed and directed by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. between the years of 1913 and 1940. They offer not only a beautiful pathway to explore the park with - but a stunning addition to the already breathtaking landscape.
