Happy Independence Day!

The photo above is from beautiful and quaint downtown Penacook, NH. The flags are flying proudly in the square. I live in Boscawen about 1/2 mile or so from the square. I grew up in Penacook, and I still consider it my home town. The weather here today is not going to be conducive for outdoor activity. It is tropically humid and thunder storms are predicted through the afternoon. I can hear one approaching as I type this. It is now pouring. We may be about an inch of rain today. We had a very wet June. Everything is very green. I will be staying in my AC.

Speaking of Independence – the eaglet fledged and is somewhere enjoying his new skill of flight. The parents will stay close to him for awhile to make sure he is eating, etc.

I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday!

FYI: Last Thursday, I visited friends who live on Northwood Lake in Northwood, NH. One of the lake’s loon pair had twins. I was able to go out on their boat and captured some photos. One example below. If you want to see more, check out my Flickr page.

Enjoy!
