Thank you, Rob! @Ed-That is a beautiful memory. I wonder how many could tell a similar story? I am glad you had this experience as well. It was strange to visit somewhere in the mountains I had never tread with Emma. In my mind it was as though she was young and we had set out on new trail...

Hal, we can never thank you enough for what you have done up there, and for what you have continued to do for many years with little to no fanfare. I wish every hiker we know could follow your lead! Sorry to have missed you, but I promise we'll get up there again before too long! PS: That new...

We had the opportunity to join some friends on a hike where we would introduce a recent dog rescue to her first hike in the White Mountains. Coco is a red Australian Cattle Dog mix, about one year old, that had been returned twice because she was just too much dog for people who did not...

Today at Adam's Point Durham, NH Ever wonder how Hepatica stays warm when it's still too chilly out for other flowers to bloom? A little fur goes a long way… Round-lobed Hepatica (Anemone americana) today at Adams Point, Durham, NH… Round-lobed Hepatica (Anemone americana) Nikon D600 Sigma...

I'm not posting this for comments on what this guy may or may not have done wrong, if you want those read the comment section of the Union Leader. I'm posting to raise awareness of the inherent danger, and the importance of self rescue. My comment would be, the guy knew what he was getting into...

I was actually surprised to find these Round-lobed Hepatica (Anemone americana) today, 4/7 in Pawtuckaway SP. There is still a lot of snow in the woods and the roads are a mix of packed snow/ice and mud. I found these on a southern facing slope clear of snow. Round-lobed Hepatica (Anemone...

I don't know, maybe not a flower per se, but Pussy-willows FINALLY out here at Kingston State Park, Kingston, NH… Nikon D600 Sigma 17-70 @70 ISO 400 f/4.5 1/1250 KDT

I'm sure I am the exception to the rule here. It's great to have awesome equipment, and even better to have a lot of patience, but to be honest, I have neither. Perhaps my photography reflects that, I don't know. Now, whether I should even be responding to this thread is an arguable point, I am...

Thanks to all for taking the time to read and comment! Just a note: Although it depends on who you ask, Blue is not our dog, we just care for him sometimes. If you ask his person Linda he is definitely not ours, but if you ask us, he definitely is!:) KDT
