The picture isn’t the best one I have ever taken, and it’s hard to capture the unique back-lit glow that the sun provides. Even so, the setting with the old farm and the clouds being…

Unwind Weekend Day 2
After months of a family schedule that just never seems to quit, it was time for a weekend away with family and friends. We stayed in a rustic home along the Baker River, on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. There was no TV, no cell service, and no internet. There was the refreshing, mind-easing roar of Baker River. There was a screened in porch overlooking the river that housed a hammock and benches long enough to sleep on. And then there was a great big room with everything you could need in order to hang out and visit with friends and family. This huge space was centered on one end by a massive fireplace that was used each evening and each morning. In a nutshell, we had a blast! We truly experienced so many laughs and made so many memories all while doing things that we love and sharing the moments with people that we love. Here are a few pictures from Day 2 on our weekend up north. (Click on the pictures to enlarge them)

Lay of the land
The wind was howling at 15-20 miles per hour. The air temperature was 24°F in the woods with a wind chill of 10°F or so. But there’s still so much to see, so much to…
Views From The Road
Once in a while, a road trip takes me through scenes and views that are too numerous to count, and too splendid to accurately capture in pictures. I try though, to convey the breathtaking goodness and beauty found in weather and creation.
With An Eye To The Sky
Trailing a stormy front moving from west to east, the sky was impossible to miss.

How is that the roads run to the places from where we come? But we see what we want and it differs from.
