    2012 Spring Wildflower Thread

    It shouldn't necessarily be, but it's that time THIS year again. Crocuses in my neighborhood are blooming, and with two days in the 70s in early march, the 80's in the forecast, folks who hike the Ossipees, Belknaps and Pawtuckaways should be seeing the hepatica VERY soon! This thead is a way...

    Hiked up Cherry... Hiked up Cherry/Martha first, and took Martha's mile over. Am I to understand correctly that the Owl's head trail itself is closed???

    Sunset From Owl's Head...

    The other Owl's Head...Probably one of the best views for effort in the Whites! Have always wanted a blazing alpenglow shot from this peak, and yet it eludes me. Have always found clouds either on the peak or at the horizon. Fortunately, it's an easy hike (save the last 50 yards!!) and I could...

    Oddball Question Re Frost on Windshield

    Frost is a deposition of H2O molecules that undergo a phase change directly from gas (high energy) to solid (low energy). This process occurs a single molecule at a time, and is extremely exothermic (heat releasing). As a parcel of air cools, it will reach a saturation vapor pressure within...

    Great start to the thread! I love that the thread is always a great mix of personal, doccumentary and stunning! I had a great year with my photography, but not a great year with hiking. I ended up with sprained arches this fall, and rested a few months to heal. I'm in good shape now, and am...

    Possible Northern Lights Tonight

    The good news is that the sun is nearing the peak of it's solar cycle, so for the next two or three years, opportunities will come much more frequently than they have since 2005. There were many great storms during 2000 through 2004, and the cycle is typically 11 years or so, which means that...
