My mother took me and a neighbor to Bensons Animal Farm back in 1973, I remember buying food to feed the animals and that it came in Ice Cream Cones, then we get to that damn Lama, I swear he wanted me and my neighbor for lunch. Mom to the rescue, she scoops both of us into her arms and gets us out of harms way. FYI when you are 5 a Lama is a beast lol

Fast forward to 2008, The forest has a keen way of taking back what is hers, the trails are still there, only a few bldgs left, algea has taken over the ponds and of course vandals have left their mark. But still a good day with great friends re-living some childhood memories

Boxer

Sitting in a canoe waiting for his master to park the car, watching his every move


“ The character of the Boxer is of the greatest importance and demands the most solicitous attention. He is renowned from olden times for his great love and faithfulness to his master and household. He is harmless in the family, but distrustful of strangers, bright and friendly of temperament at play, but brave and determined when aroused. His intelligence and willing tractability, his modesty and cleanliness make him a highly desirable family dog and cheerful companion. He is the soul of honesty and loyalty, and is never false or treacherous even in his old age.
~ 1938 AKC Boxer breed standard [9] ”

Lightning strike on Lake Massabesic, pure luck that I caught the bolt in the frame, never even saw it in the viewfinder.. I don't mind days like these to be able to capture a scene like this

Last year the dock wasn't floating , not enough water in the lake. Will be interesting to see how low the Manchester Water Department lets the water level get this year.

What to do when the power goes out and you are hungry

It's 4 am and the alarm goes off, sigh, drag your body out of bed grab a cup of coffee to try and wake up. Not 15 minutes go by and the power goes out, great... Start a fire in the fireplace drag out the oil lamps and quickly pour the coffee into a thermos so it doesn't get cold. It's been snowing all night and the wife has to get into work early so I am off to clean the driveway with the snow blower. 45 minutes later with that task complete, both the wife and I say we are hungry at the same time, so I ask "what do you want eggs and bacon"? "How are you going to do that"? she says, hehehe watch this...
