Hey folks, My wife, daughter, her hubby and I justb returned from going up to camp for an extended weekend. that is to say in the Colebrook, NH area. We are about 7 miles from the Canadian border. The weather was crisp, the deer and moose were visiting and the colors were spectacular. The reds and orange colors were as brilliant as one could want. Apples were in abundance on all the trees up there. We had a great time. I haven't been up all summer due to medical problems but when we arrived I was surprised that it was a very dry summer up there. It started raining yesterday and will continue today and tomorrow. this will be good. So now all you folks can groan and cuss since I am back and will be posting again.  |

J.J.
I agree with Pieter in welcoming you back.. In as much to cussing and groan, well to the beholder lays the opinion. If to peek behind the curtain of the stage, we find more interest is stirred up with controversy.
You do live in such a wonderful area with such beauty, it would seem very difficult to return, but I am happy you have done so..
Welcome back...
Karl

Welcome back John, you must have a great time over there in Colebrook up North with that beautiful spring colors, red and orange. Pieter, You continue to amaze me. You know as much about our area as the natives probably. This photo of yours is exactly how the colors of fall presented themselves.  It was magnificent. The fields were a very vibrant green as on your photos and the hills with the hardwoods were spectacular in their contrast. I really love the place. |
