High Season

It's nearly over, soon most of the tourists will be gone. Next come the leaf-peepers. Here are some of my favorite beach/tourist photos of the summer


golf at the beach - life is good!


dancing with her shadow - the most creative kid I've seen at the beach all summer


triplets and triangles


the coolest kite I saw all summer


surf and sky


fishing at dusk


you got to go where the market is, and all of these folks are barefoot!


"gim'me 2 steps, gimme 2 steps mister...gimme 2 steps --towards that shore"


I say we you put that same amount into a high risk venture market, then l'll be able to drive to college in a Porsche!


sunset - yeah, again


gone fishin', or swimmin' or walkin'


evening beach sky


sunset beach run


the boat is always bigger on the other side of the dock


artistry in sand and on the wind


cottages large and small


keeping a close eye on the opponents bocce ball toss


hanging in the beach 'hood w/ the natives

only a 3 hour drive from the ocean...


the days menu


determination + opportunity = growth and success


green mountains majesty


tiny, tiny, tiny


another piece of the trail


Most of the trail followed an old railroad bed, left from the days when the mountains were clear cut


the cycle of growth


so many greens


natural havoc, new opportunities for growth


just a turn of the head and open eyes yields such treats


I would love to have been a witness to this event!


natural sculpture


a sweaty hiker's reward - the center of this basin, wide enough to stand in, was 5' deep!


pieces parts of the Falls


approaching Franconia Falls


Franconia Falls, London NH


the path


the destination


Going in for the big splash


a quieter pool


the trail into Black Pond


absolutely the only sound was the bugs buzzing, a rare and sacred freedom from human noise


the rarity of utter and complete silence - we found it here


it's all in the details


the walk out
