When you do homecare, your car is your office. I choose to see this as a positive. When I was in Hancock County I would often find different places to park to call my pts for the next day.
I went into a pts home and the sky was the prefect blue – so I took out my Rebel and took a snap.
Then, coming out, an hour later – the colors began to surface.
I drove 2 miles down the road to the boat landing, snapped a few photos and then called all my pts.
Driving up Mt Washington is super fun, and a little scary for someone who isn’t into heights and have bouts of vertigo.
Be ready for wind! And some of the most gorgeous views ever.
The problem with such views is no perspective at times, so things look flat and while gorgeous, lacks texture. So, that’s why the keys! and any other objects I can use to give things perspective as well as a break in the view.
It was a fun day, and again, windy!
The Flume! A pretty active day, and some great pics! No ND filters, but I managed with Fstops, long exposures and ISO
The area is gorgeous, and a lot of natural beauty.
The flowing water! ‘Nuff Said
I did a total of 5 miles on a Sunday 
There is no way to take a good enough picture to show the massive walls of this place.
Of course, much to my wife’s chagrin, my keys showed up!
I ended up taking 300 photos, but editing about 80. Which is a good ratio.
Every single trail head was PACKED today! so, instead I found the quiet places. I guess I will be hiking after work. !
And there are the keys! They make a good prop – 8 for the # of assignments and 3 for the # of years I’ve been a PTA.
I’m working on using my ND filters, so I’m not quite there yet! Waterfalls here we go later this week!
A wicked cool metal works place in Bethlehem, NH.
I tried my hand at a few night shots – I need to get a trigger bulb! No way outta that! Next investment 
I was heading to a patients home and found this little off set lily pond!
The on thing about the coast, is it’s always changing. One day the ground is clear, the next 24 inch of snow!
We got slammed and are waiting on more in the next 24 hours. Go down south they said, it’s warmer they said!
I love these old places, there is so much character here!
When it snows, typically the next day the sky is bright blue and the water is gorgeous as calm.
The colors just started to come in through the hazy clouds as I drove home today, snapped a few pictures. I’ve gotten into the habit carrying my camera with me.
My wife, god love her, as I do, isn’t an outdoors person. I am. ATVs, hiking, walking in the woods, going off and finding abandon houses, tramping along the railroad bed. But, I did get her to climb Haystack Mountain! Whooot!
The hike up was great, the sun was nice, and a few good pictures were had!
We often forget what is just in our back yard, and the gorgeous world that is around us, every single day. Cotton Candy Clouds on a Bed of Blue….
A few of these might make it up onto our wall one day. Was a great, short stint up rocky terrain.
Don’t let them deceive you! These flowers are very small!
But very pretty. The white sand sticks to the oils of the flowers and in the sunlight looks like star-light, and sparkle.

I could go walking here every weekend. It really is a gorgeous tapestry.
For my birthday I decided I was going to take a trek into Colorado, to this place everyone raved about: Garden of the Gods.
1 – the place is gorgeous!
2 – its free
3 – go EARLY!
4 – while you don’t have to do a lotta hiking to see the sites, DO bring water! Snacks! And a camera.
This place is wonderfully gorgous and I only saw a fraction of what I could have. I drove in early in the AM, luckily, parked in the main lot. The Center of sorts. I ventured into several hiking areas, heading towards the visitors center for a mid morning food break there.
Instead of a huge lunch, I opted for a snack and a Jeep tour. Worth every penny! Not a lot of picture taking, but it’s not about that, it’s about seeing the sites, the history, etc.
I still have not seen a rattle snake!
This pretty doe was just standing there, eating, the five people ahead of me were so intent on just walking – they never saw her… I took my time and ventured in closer – I got to about five feet away – did a bit of staring, the let her get back to having her morning snack.
Pikes Peak.
This is a wonderful pinkish stone. I ended up bringing a piece home with me, was lodged in my Merrils.
While taking this picture, I met some nice folks from Maine – Camden, in fact. We are everywhere!
Famous Balancing Rock (its not balancing any more, FYI, after years of people doing what that guy is doing, it began to roll off a few years ago. Its now cemented there)
One of the great places the Jeep tour took us! Tunnels, and cliff roads, oh my!
This used to be a train rail. If you look real carful like, at the ceiling, you can see the soot marks from the coal engines.

Helen Keller Falls.
The GotG is a very surreal looking place. Like someone shoved their fingers up from under and pushed the rock up. And juts of stone, sentries, guard this really wonderful tapestry of earth.
If you look really close, you can see the “bear” staring off up into the sky.
Pike’s Peak in the distance
Kissing Camels – lore goes something like this – warring tribes found out that the son and a daughter of opposing tribes were in love. This was forbidden. As punishment, they sent them into the Garden (it was a place of peace) – its said they never returned, but that the camels were forever kissing above the garden
I did not take a lot of time to sight see on my way to my new job in New Mexico, why? I was in a hurry. I was on a mission. On my last day I came across this gorgeous field of sunflowers:
