Spirit of Summer
"I am a spirit of no common rate:
The summer still doth tend upon my state;
And I do love thee. Therefore go with me.
I'll give thee fairies to attend on thee,
And they shall fetch thee jewels from the deep,
And sing while on pressed flowers dost sleep."
-William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

Red Squirrel
This cute critter was found at the AMC visitor's center at Pinkham Notch last week. He was so tame that I was able to get up close to take this shot while he happily munched on some lettuce given to him by one of the hikers.

Pequawket Pond
Here is the beautiful pond behind the house that we rented for the week in Conway, New Hampshire. South Moat Mountain is visible to the right in the background. Yesterday morning we heard a loon calling from the pond and looked out to see it about a hundred yards away. Since then I believe the loon is my favorite water bird.
