White Mountains

We mostly just drove through the woods looking at mountains and oooohing and ahhhhhing a lot.  If there was a scenic view marked on the road we usually stopped and checked it out.  I, of course, took an embarrassingly large number of pictures.  Here are some that I actually like.

One of the best sites was The Flume in Franconia Notch State Park.  I took a lot of pictures there.  Walking the trail was the most exercise I’ve had since the late Jurassic Era…

This is a covered bridge on the bus route that we didn’t take because we decided to torture ourselves.

This is the bottom of the flume. 

The water was little more than a trickle in some spots.  We were wondering how it would look during the early spring.

Note the guy standing next to the wooden sign.  The sign mentions something about staying off the rocks… or something like that.

When it comes to waterfalls, this is a little more like it.

The river cut out a narrow, steep walled gorge.  It was really cool.

This is my favorite shot of the weekend.

This is my second favorite shot of the weekend.  It might have come in first if not for the two touristas messin’ up my shot.  What you can’t see is the sign next to the bridge telling us to keep our pedestrian selves off of the bus road.  Note how we defy the laws.

This is on day two.  It’s a view behind our hotel in Lancaster, NH.  I can’t decide if the low clouds and fog and mist made this into a cool picture, or if it just got in the way.

This next view is from a highway pull off.  It’s called The Silver Cascade and it’s on Mount Webster.  Mount Webster is part of the Presidential Range, even though Daniel Webster was not a President.  Not sure how that worked out the way it did.

Again, fellow touristas gettin’ in my shot.

One more from the Silver Cascade.

This one is from a scenic view on the Kancamagus Highway, and I am sure hoping I spelled that right. 

I took hundreds of pictures in landscape mode so I figured I’d add one in macro mode too.  Jen spotted this in a patch of grass and dandelions

That’s it for now.  I added all the keepers to my pics section, but I probably won’t be doing that again… there were a ton of them.  We’ll probably go back again when the leaves are more colorful.
