Autumn done just right

Have you ever taken a bunch of pictures then come home, pulled them up on the computer and one really grabs your eye? You think, 'oh yeah, this is beautiful'. That's what this picture did for me. The scene looked better than I remembered when I shot it this afternoon.

String Bridge views on a Winters day

About the time I took these photos I was supposed to be at a doctors appointment. Needless to say I forgot. Oops!



String Bridge is located in the heart of Exeter. It's just a small, old bridge built in 1935 and the view is pure and simple small town New Hampshire.

Settled in 1638 Exeter became a busy mill town. Though most of the mills have since disappeared, many of the colonial homes remain.

Some prefer an afternoon dip ....

others would rather go with a nap

The sign below provides a little more information about the historic gold building that resides in the middle of String bridge.

Newmarket Water Works

Located in the town of Newmarket, NH is this wonderful old building, complimented with a gracious waterfall. Dating back to 1830, you can see on the plaque this factory building has been used for several different businesses. It's always great when a town buys and preserves such an gracious piece of history.

A perfect spot for a picnic or painting or to take a little 'me' time




In the above photo new windows have been retro fitted to the original openings. For as old as the building is, it still looks to be in excellent condition. I'd sure like to see the inside.

The pond on the other side of the bridge that feeds the waterfall. I was so fortunate to be there on a day with brilliant blue skies!

Our tree's are quickly losing their bold colors. Friday is supposed to be a windy day so by Saturday there probably won't be much left. Trying to capture the beauty of Fall is like a race against the clock!
