The cloudless night sky and low light pollution of northern New Hampshire make for excellent star gazing. This shot was taken from a campground on the shores of Conway Lake in New Hampshire. The bright lights to the lower right are from a neighboring campfire. A satellite rolls across the sky as well.

Leafy Pool

On our way to the Maine coast for vacation this past week, we stopped by a beaver pond along the Kancamagus Highway in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. This pool attracted my eye for the multiple levels of interest within it: the leaves floating on top, the rocks on the bottom, and the reflection of the sky and trees.

As fall officially arrives and the possibility of frost becomes more present, hardy flowers like this rudbeckia continue to show off their colors.

Pod People

Milk weed pods are beginning to burst forth out in our front field. It was challenging capturing their dehiscence as there was a good breeze blowing across the field.

Fading…

Lichen & Water

This cherry tree is a stalwart next to Fargo Brook. Given that the brook has been rather unruly in the past couple of years and jumped its banks due to flooding rains, I wonder how long the tree will last before its hold is eroded and it falls like many other trees before it.
