More Roses on the River

Phew! Where did the time go? I had planned on posting this just a day or two after the original Roses on the River, but that didn't happen. I'm so in awe by those of you who post daily, and work. I don't know how you do it.

A slightly different focus from the photo in my last post. In this shot you can see the old mills a little better. For the most part they've been turned into condos, but there is still a couple business' located inside one of them.

Since it was early in the morning, plenty of birds were hanging about. Herons are always a favorite of mine.

Now these guys, I don't know where they came from. I do believe they're domestic Geese so where they go in the winter I have no idea but they weren't to afraid of people.

For the most part they just stood there and looked at me while I kept shooting.

Within a minute or two it was back to standing on one leg, tucking their heads under their wings, and taking a nap. Life on the river in the morning seems pretty relaxing.

What are your plans for Memorial Day?
My younger daughter and I will be heading out to New Castle to hang out with friends. It's supposed to be a great day here in New Hampshire and we're going to enjoy it!

Roses on the river

This past week-end I woke up one morning to a wonderful fog. I can't remember if it was Saturday or Sunday ... they all blend together lately.


Anyway, it was a great morning for photography.

The wild roses smell sweet and pungent at the same time. A welcome flower that will last well into the early fall.

A little morning mist lay all around

Can you think of a better way to spend a peaceful, warm morning? It was early so there were only a couple other people in the area. Plenty of Herons, ducks, Gulls, and Cormorants to be found though!

In my next post I'll show you a few more photos from the river that great foggy morning. So nice to see you all again : )

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!
