Turns out the waterfalls I was looking for yesterday were 1 mile from where we turned around and decided to photograph cows instead. Worked out better, we took the whole family today and it was a beautiful day. First stop were the Wight Brook Step Falls, The dailypic is the upper step and the next one down is the lower.  The view from the upper part was incredible.  The second stop was the Screw Auger Falls, which was hard to photograph, but incredible to witness. The power of water is insane. Reminds me I need to fix a drippy sink when I get home, as long as the water has not destroyed it while I was gone.

Headed North with the family, Maine, Papoose Pond. The rain found us, not a huge deal, we have camped in the rain before. We make the best of it. Forecast looks better as the weekend approaches.  I would rather sit in the rain here, than in my dry cube there (sorry to my fellow co-workers that read this – it’s not you, it’s me). The kids are insisting we do not have this trip planned out to the minute. That is not our my style.  Something about relaxing and just hanging out here. We will see.

We hiked, here are more photos from that hike.

I spent the day kayaking on Lake Willoughby in northern Vermont. At times it might as well have been the ocean with the white caps and wind.  It was awesome.  Anna and I went out for a couple hours, then Barbie and I.  It made all the annoyance that was getting a rack for the truck, to get them up here, worth it. Then we sat on the beach and watched the sunset, armed with 3 cameras.  No matter where we go we look like tourists, well equipped tourists. I told the kids I would post their favorite shots too, so first we have Anna’s sunset shot with a lensbaby and then Danny’s Nifty Fifty with his new hand me down D5000.  Now I am sitting under the canopy next to the fire waiting for this mountain lighting storm to pass over head, tossing logs on to prevent the rain from drowning my light.
