A little time back in NH in a couple of favorite nature preserves.
A New Hampshire Interlude
Elusive wildflowers – Part 16 – Clintonia
Bluebead lily is a common flower that I'm never on time for.
Tucker Brook; a farewell
A last walk at Tucker Brook - I say goodbye to a favorite nature preserve.
While Rome burns
Ferns are one of my favorite subjects, especially in early spring when the fiddleheads are out!
Elusive Flora
So this isn't a wildflower, but I'm going to put it in my Elusive Wildflowers category because it's got to go somewhere. There is also some irony in this little story, too, and that's always fun. As I said in my last post, this will most likely be my final spring in New Hampshire. When... Continue Reading →

Avoiding powerboats as much as possible. I like to slip into side channels or very shallow spots and await... Continue Reading →
