Diana's Baths And An Androscoggin Bonus

-



While staying close to the border between Maine and New Hampshire, we've realized that New Hampshire is loaded with beauty of its own. Before we arrived in this area, we were focused on exploring as much of Maine as we could. We have, and its beauty is evident every time we hit the highway. We also found ourselves drawn to New Hampshire more than we expected. We kept uncovering locations that we just could not stay away from. One of these is Diana's Baths. Another rocky, waterfall playground, this series of falls in the White Mountain National Forest also provides cold water wading opportunities. A 0.6 mile hike to get to the falls is not a bad tradeoff if you want to spend some time in this gorgeous area. 






These guys were not missing the opportunity even though someone was not brave enough to get in there 😨
So cold!!



See that face? Got to hand it to 'em!
They braved it anyway😁











After all, who would have captured the moments if someone would not have agreed to stay dry and tend to that important job? 
























We're up here now!!










The beauty kept coming as we drove away from Diana's Baths. After experiencing this region of New Hampshire, we are certainly excited to see even more of this state in October!







To close, we'll include this bonus bald eagle sighting captured a couple of days before as we floated down the Androscoggin.

Home on the Bayou

  We are back for a stay on the bayou.  Home, for the time being, is the Picou Farm.🐎🐔🌱 We have been graciously welcomed to park and stay a while, and it feels like we never left😊 We don't keep our windows closed much lately as we might miss out on the sounds provided by the farm. We have experienced many different places, sights, and sounds, but there is definitely something special about living among these characters. Many of the images below were captured by a quick peek out of our windows. Beauty!!  .....precious family time, l💞ving on the bayou grandbabes😊, and just plain fun..... A quick drive from Cut Off takes us to some Greensburg Naquin moochdocking time😁 While enjoying time here again, we decided a visit to the Audubon Aquarium and Insectarium had to happen. Fun at the Boat & RV Show in Houma

Enjoying A New England Smorgasburg Of Adventure As Our Time Here Winds Down

-

  It has now been over three months since our arrival in Bethel, Maine, and we are scrambling to see more of New England before trekking  southward.  With our last month shaping up to be one hopefully filled with tons of leaf peeping excitement, we'd like to focus on what August brought our way.  We enjoyed a drive to and around Portsmouth with emphasis on all things nautical. While partaking in this area, there was much to be learned. One very important fact realized is that Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is actually located in Kittery, Maine  near  Portsmouth, NH. Being new to the area (well, Kendra and Cannon being new to it, that is), this all proved to be a bit confusing at first as our daytrip took us there before venturing to Portsmouth for a walk through Prescott Park and seeing these views of the Navy Yard from across the Piscataqua River. ?????????????????????? Receiving submarine dolphins at Mare Island Naval Shipyard December 14, 1989 (Why the misplaced photos???????) Transi

A Little More of Maine's Coast in Ogunquit

-

  To soak in some hard to beat ocean views, we headed to Ogunquit for a stroll along the path known as Marginal Way. The drive in the downtown area, before the featured walk, took us past many charming shops and restaurants while the fresh sea air mystique of Maine was abundant. Considering we are staying well inland this summer, these coastal excursions provide a different experience  altogether. Once we parked and made our way to the entrance of this unmatched path, it was hard to put the camera away. It seemed every step proved to be another photo op as we encountered the many views provided.
