Sunrise! What a beautiful spot to live. We are constantly in awe of the world around us here. This is a common site in the morning and our east-facing kitchen windows are the right spot to view it.
We have been finding all sorts of beautiful spots in NH through our geocaching adventures.
This is the Abenaki Tower overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee in Tuftonboro (near Melvin Village.) The kids have been up this tower several times in the past and this time was just as beautiful as we remembered it!
The view from the top was photo worthy on this blue sky, crisp fall day.
We went from this location to do a few caches (after grabbing the one here) and it was an adventure we will not soon forget. The "short" walk was much longer than anticipated so we were hoofing it back to the car at dusk, trying to beat the growing darkness.
I will bottle the moment toward the end when I passed our only flashlight off to Daddy and our youngest who were going to continue walking and then jogged up to the older boys. At my jogging approach they began to run. It was just like cross-country races from high school--only a little more giggling than I recall. We were certainly racing each other through the scrub pines on a single-track trail with uneven footing and laughing the whole way.
This track star mom could not catch those young teenagers who had wind enough to run, laugh and chatter while I had to concentrate on breathing just to keep up! They beat me to the car in the end, and I found one flat out on the moss to my relief as I would have taken the spot to rest too!
Muscles warm and a bit achy we stripped off the extra layers of clothes, popped the backpacks and walking sticks into the trunk of the car and then got in to warm it up. A moment to bottle for sure!

You guys are so cool! What a fun family day! Thanks for keeping us updated! I hear we may cross paths during our visits to Vermont!!!! Enjoy the holidays

We just love living life vicariously through yours!!!
We have stayed out geocaching later than we should have also. Just had to get that last one in for the day. For Christmas we (unknowingly) bought each other flashlights that never need batteries. One is a wind up version and the other is one that just needs shaking. They are pretty cool. We had a flashlight on our last caching expo but the batteries were weak, but enough to get us safely back to the car.
Having the view of the east and the morning sun is so awesome. We have similiar pictures. In the winter you may find a sunrise with the light beaming straigt up out of the pink horizon. It's the ice crystals that cause that beautiful brief sky painting.
Once again thanks for sharing the photos and the visual discriptions.
Love,
Lyn & Ron
