A Portsmouth walk

Here are a few photos taken in and around Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth, NH.

Barrington Trail

On Saturday we took a little hike on the Barrington Trail. We hadn't walked that section of the trail in several years, and I had forgotten how many interesting things there are to see, including varieties of fungus and lichen, a heron rookery, and a neglected family cemetery.

These are from an early morning walk in Landgrove, Vermont.

Exeter Early Spring

A friend and I walked around Exeter looking for interesting things to photograph. I particularly liked reflections in the decaying ice and a window to the world below. Colors and textures in a sheet of copper and an old wall also got my attention.

Ice storm

We had a snow and ice storm Saturday and Sunday. After cleaning up the driveway, I wandered around the yard photographing the trees, weeds, and bushes that were coated with ice. Even the most commonplace weeds were turned into beautiful sculptures by the ice.
