Sabbath Day Falls, Kancamagus Highway, New Hampshire

Last weekend my Meet Up group NEPE, visited waterfalls located on the Kancamagus Highway. The weather was overcast and drizzling, perfect weather for photographing falls.

Sabbath Day Falls is one of outstanding falls in the area. There is a short hike to the falls.

Feeding Wildlife Concern and Information

A man feeding the fox, was sitting on the ground to left about 3 feet from the fox feeding and photographing.

New Hampshire and surrounding New England states, if you are lucky, you can view wildlife and enjoy wildlife. My favorites are moose, deer, bear and other beautiful animals live and run free in our area. I live in New Hampshire, I love viewing and photographing wildlife and birds but respect my distance, reading and educating myself about their habits and etc.

Please read this link to educate yourself hikeSafe - Wildlife Fact & Fiction I am posting this information out of concern after I viewed a man sitting on the ground about 3 to 5 ft from a fox feeding and taking pictures as he threw out food trying keep the fox close for pictures yesterday. Something could have frighten the fox and in an instant could have turned on the man who was feeding him. Tourist enjoy our wildlife but with a safe respect.

See you in New Hampshire, you will love visiting our state as you can see reading my blog!!!

Important Words From Tom Golaback

Tom was a close friend to my children and to us.

"Melanoma cut Tom's life so short. At his funeral mass today, Tom's brother Mike made wonderful euology and the most important message at the end of the euology was that Tom asked Mike to make sure all his friends and family took the time to check any changes in markings on their bodies, have annual skin scans (which take about 10 minutes) by their dermatologists and to wear sun screen. In honoring one of Tom's last wishes I am passing his and Mike's message on to all of you and hope you pass it on to everyone your care for. Rest in peace Tom; you will always be in our hearts."

Posted by Frank Pinto spreading Tom's request to have annual check ups and use sun screen protection. Please spread the word in Tom's memory, thank you from Tom's family and friends who loved him and will miss him.

Remick Farm Spring Break Event Photos

Bob and I attended a spring break event at Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm opened for children to experienced hands on feeding cows, chicken, playing colonial games, sack races also learning how to play with a hoops.

Another fun and adorable experience was seeing the recently born lamb and piglets. We loved seeing how the children related to their farm experienced, their little faces lighting up went seeing and feeding the farm animals. Honestly I think we enjoyed the event more than the children.
