Nice.  I haven't really followed this past winter's weather up there.  Was your snow fall as anemic as here in southern New England?

Was a mild snow fall this year. Wasn’t very cold either (easy on the fuel bill). We didn’t have hard water ‘till well into Jan in mid Maine. Only concern I can see with this is the water levels as we go through the year. 
Good and bad at the same time.

That time of year. Trout should be moving any day

Somedays I travel locally quite a bit, always nice to find a quiet cemetery to have lunch and take a few minutes. 

I came across this one the other day among the cow fields.  From the dated gravestones looks like it was established around 1800.  

 

 

One of the first veterans, born 1750, probably served in the Revolution. 

No doubt the local veteran group will be putting a new flag in the holder soon for Memorial Day.  

In Memory of

Lieut. Jonas Newell

who died

April 12, A.D. 1816

Att. 66

Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb,

Take this new treasure to thy trust,

And give these sacred relics room

To seek a slumber in the dust. 

In memory of

Miss ASENATH FROST

Daughter of Mr. Seth &

Mrs. Abigail Frost

Who died Feb 19, 1810.

Aged 18 Yrs. & 6 Ms.

 

She was possessed of sprightly active

powers of mind, sound judgement, a

uniform temper and disposition.

Her exemplary life and high attachment

to study demonstrated her virtue and

rendered her life important to society.

 

Adieu my friend and kindred dear,

For silent dust conceals me here,

And when the mighty trump shall

sound, to call the nations from the ground,

I’ll then reanimate my day & wing my

way to join the great celestial day.

This is my neighborhood today in a haze from the Canadian wildfire 500 miles away. Although it looks like it could be the moon, the orange dot in the sky is the sun. Crazy stuff

That's almost how it looked here in SE Michigan yesterday. I went for my normal evening bike ride and soon as I turned the corner off my street I noticed how it looked so hazy/white when you looked more than about 1/2 mile down the main road. Didn't know why at first, then it hit me it must have been from the Canadian fires.

Yeah it’s been like this for a few days now. Coolest sun ever though

Had an opportunity to take a charter trip with my oldest. She and I have a photo competition (we call it “I win!) and these are from that day. 
Can’t decide who won that day. Hers are the anchor and the reel.

The latest technique I’ve been showing her is how to see the picture when she takes it so there is no need for editing.
