New Ipswich Sunrise

Image
My usual morning routine is to grab a cup of coffee and sit myself in front of the computer for a while.  On Saturday my wife told me to look outside. I almost missed this wonderful sunrise. Just as a extra, there was a rainbow in the west. The light changes quickly and no photograph can do it justice. Isn't nature amazing? Great colors as the sun was arising And in the west a double rainbow Strange Light made leaves more colorful Looking East Morning Light, Autumn is great I have photos available for sale

My dog ate my ballot

Image
This presidential election has not been kind to my blood pressure. I find myself ranting at the television, but unable to just turn it off. I needed a break from this, I needed a bit of humor. My family provided some levity with a true story. My niece lives in Colorado, one of the states that allows early voting. She obtained her ballot but ran into a bit of difficulty when she was ready to fill it out. Copper is usually unconcerned about politics but not this year My dog ate my ballot She was able to get a replacement ballot but it was not easy. When I learn of that story I'll update this posting.

Pumpkin Regatta

Image
Curcubita maxima is a variety of squash that can exceed 2000 pounds. Every Autumn the New Hampshire town of Goffstown sponsors a Pumpkin Regatta featuring a race of the giant gourds in the Piscataquog River Reservoir in the center of town. The festivities start with a pumpkin weigh off for the state championship. There is a drop of a giant gourd from 70 feet into a swimming pool, a road race, firing apples from sling shots and as a finale a race of the giant pumpkins piloted by folks in costumes. This year the theme was superheroes. Students from Emerson College are making a documentary about the Regatta, more photos can be seen on their Facebook Page Catwoman prowls the reservoir Each pumpkin is numbered in a raffle, the first one to cross the finish line was supposed to be the winner. However the drought has slowed the current so a boat assist was required to herd them over the line. Film Crew We have a winner, over $1000 Sound crew and drone ope
