Outside in August

This one is coming to you a little later in the day than usual, but that’s because I was on a mini-vacation Wednesday to Thursday and we got back late last night.  I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to share some photos of where we went, because there was so much beautiful outdoor scenery.  Despite the fact that these pictures were all shot on my phone rather than with my DSLR, I think there are still some good ones.  Get ready to vicariously visit the White Mountains of New Hampshire!

The first place we went was Diana’s Bath in the North Conway area of New Hampshire (NH).  It’s a series of little water falls that you can explore and play in.

I guess this post could also be sub-titled “Amazing Fungi of New Hampshire”.  There were so many weird and amazing fungi all over the woods!

Next we went over to Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves in North Woodstock, NH.  With the help of boardwalks built along a river, you can explore the rocks and caves in a way you wouldn’t be able to otherwise.  These pictures don’t do justice to the amazing boardwalk system they have here (which has over 1,000 steps) or the caves you can squeeze through if you so desire.

It was a great trip, and I hope we can go back and explore more one day.  Have you ever been to the White Mountains?  What did you do there?
