My New Hampshire Neighborhood

 

Snowmobiles on Lake Sunapee - After a very late-season freeze-over, and first blizzard, snowmobilers enjoy  Valentine's Day on Lake Sunapee, 2007.

Canon PowerShot SD800IS. At my age, image stabilization is the difference between getting the shot and not. 

 

Granite Moss - This moss is as thick and long-fibered as the finest shag carpet.

Portside Ripple - A kindly breeze on a hot July afternoon pushes my canoe silently.

Ring Brook Panorama - Heavy rains made this quiet little brook roar to be heard for a hundred yards.

Lily Pads - I discovered that paddling my "tippy" Bell Magic canoe one-handed, while keeping my camera high and dry with the other, wasn't easy.

Canoe View - Twenty minutes after "Lily Pads," the sky filled with clouds.

New Hampshire - This is the first image I made here, and it still epitomizes rural New Hampshire for me... old and comfortable, but not the least bit tired.

Celadon Flowers - Wildflowers near my house, modified in Photoshop to resemble Chinese celadon glaze on ceramic tile.

Curtain Afternoon - Usually, when Gable sees me with a camera he comes to investigate. This time, I tip-toed around and didn't wake him from semi-doze.

Pastel Snow - The blizzard suddenly stopped and the sky blushed. I never thought I'd get used to snow, after 34 years in Los Angeles... but, it's so different from the "city snow" I knew as a kid in Philadelphia. It's beautiful, and the air makes me smile. I like it!

Ring Brook ROCKS! - About two weeks after I made "Ring Brook Panorama" above, it poured heavily again, and I crossed the road and hiked upstream to this beautiful spot.
