I found a quaint chapel on Rt. 118, Groton NH. It was snowing at the time adding to charm when visiting the chapel.
The chapel had also had a beautiful stain glass window I took.
After months of extremely mild weather we finally are now experiencing winter in NH. Taking ride and looking for views to shoot, I came across this beautiful ice formation on the side of the road.
Snow on my ornamental grass
My other passion is gardening. For winter interest in your yard, it's best not to cut down all your flowers and plants, the reason why, it is called "Winter Interest". You can see how pretty the grass is with the snow and blue sky.
Our golf course crew is cutting down huge 80 to 90ft white pines. The crew trims the branches and burns. The trunks of the trees are used for fire wood, heating in their building.....a lot of fire wood!!!
I grabbed my camera, I had to take pictures. Walking to the area where the bonfire was a little dangerous, what looks like snow was really ice. I could not pass up an opportunity for pictures.
Pemgewasset River Winter Images
I love exploring back roads looking for images to take. The Pemgewasset River caught my eye!!! I do have a problem when taking images in the winter, the fear of the slipping on the snow and ice, landing in the river.
Make a wish....wishing well
It's been a few weeks since I have gone shooting. I keeping hoping for snow, allowing me to photograph our snow events: dog sled racing, radar runs on the lakes, snowmobile races, ice skating and ice fishing tournaments. Our lakes have not frozen over and we lack snow :(. Looking at our weather, I might receive my wish four days of snow....bring it on!!!
Ice and snow can be pretty
Yesterday we has our first real snow and ice storm...not as bad as first predicted but shoveler/snowblower type.
Wildlife Hair Do
If you read my journal, you know of my conquest to photograph wildlife....is not successful.
Attending my sister Judi's surprise birthday party, Judi's neighbor's son in law was sporting a wildlife hair do. His wife, a hairdresser experimented on him. He allowed me to take a picture and post on my journal :).
Ah success ...wildlife in NJ :).
Riding behind a logging truck can be a little precarious.
NH has a huge resource of white pines. Close to 85% of our state's 5.7 million acres are forested and the logging industry contributes $1.7 billion dollars of revenue. Our New Hampshire - Our Renewable Resource
Abandon Doll Carriage
Propped Up Old Shed on the property
I posted pictures of the an old house Fire Ruins Of An Old Home we came across on our weekly back road's ride looking for scenic sites to photograph.
Leaving the site, I walked by a doll carriage...the thought of carriage has haunted me enough to go back again to the site to take pictures.
A talent photographer, artist friend Benu (you can read her Creativity--Bits and Pieces journal) shared advice with me. When you find a place to photograph, take the time to photograph all angles and subjects of a site.
Returning yesterday the fireplace ruins I took a couple a weeks ago had completely collapsed.
