Summer's Ending In the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, Sunset on Newfound Lake

Labor Day Weekend, our last summer weekend, kids are going back to school, tourist are packing up, returning home. You can start to feel a touch of fall in the air. 

Bob and took a ride to Bristol,  Newfound Lake, NH,  Tuesday night, taking in a sunset.  I found an opening, spotting the sunset shining through a summer home's porch windows, a beautiful reflection of the sunset on the lake and started shooting through the trees from the street.   The homeowner curious,  came out to see what I was doing and invited me to come onto his property to take a few photos.  Imagine living with this nightly view.

We live in a beautiful state.

A few weeks ago, riding backroads, Bob spotted a fawn and doe.  Beautiful lighting really highlighted the beautiful pair.

Our friend Gerry took a look at the photos and mentioned to Bob the fawn is a young one, he is hunter :(.

American Idol 2012 Concert

Colton

Bob and I attended American Idol's concert at Verizon Wireless Center, Manchester, NH.  Listening to the talent of 2012 group, we really enjoyed.

Phillip 2012 winner, did not disappoint, his talent was obvious, adorable young man. Joshua received a standing ovation (my personal favorite), Elize talent really showed in her performance lasts night. All of American Idol's top 10, Jessica, Hollie, Skylar, Colton, Deandre, Heejun, Erika, were outstanding.

I am looking forward seeing which direction their careers and talent will takes them.

Sunflowers

I located a place where I could photograph sunflowers,  Spider Web Gardens.  I contacted the owner,  she was so nice to allow me to photograph.  I would like to add Spider Web Gardens are one of my favorite nurseries, their varieties of plants are outstanding.

I photographed the different varieties available but unable to identify their names.

Busy Summer, I Am Back

Sorry for my lack of posting, we had a very busy summer plus in all honesty, I was just plain lazy.   But I am back and revamping my blog.

Bob, my sister, brother and myself attended Ambler's family reunion, held in Maggie Valley, NC.  My mother's family is from Asheville.  What a wonderful get together, allowing us to meet many family members. 

Bob and I had a little time to tour the area, Blue Ridge area....so beautiful.
