This is my first in a series of five blog posts about my
recent trip to New Hampshire, April 27-30, 2012.
New Hampshire is a beautiful state with hills, trees,
water, wildlife, winding roads and granite outcroppings. New Hampshire is also a state with fiercely
independent people. The state motto is
Live Free or Die.
Here are two photos of some pretty NH scenery. Although NH is most famous for “foliage
season” when the leaves are ablaze with Fall color, it is very pretty in the
Spring, too.
We drove past the real
Walden Pond (not pictured), made famous by Henry David Thoreau, across the
border in Massachusetts. (Not to be
confused with Golden Pond, made famous by actors Katharine Hepburn and Henry
Fonda in their “golden” years .)
I can
understand why Thoreau waxed eloquent about the virtues of living in such a
beautiful setting.

These are absolutely stunning photos! What kind of camera are you using?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ali! I'm so glad you liked the photos.
DeleteMy camera is nothing fancy. A FinePix A340 digital camera, 4.0 mega pixels. I got lucky on that first shot (and did some cropping). The color turned out just right. The lake really IS that blue!
What beautiful photos! I've never been to the Northeast but these pictures sure make me want to visit!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed your trip to NH, and things were actually green and blooming while you were there! We camped in NH once while living in CT, and hiked up Mt. Washington. Definitely one my favorite memories of our entire time living in New England, probably because it reminded me of being in....Colorado!
ReplyDeleteI have never been to NH but this makes me want to go!
ReplyDeleteNew Hampshire is a very beautiful state!
