And here's one of my favorite spots on the NH coast....

Extreme southern NH??????

Near Portsborough, on the way Hampstead. You know, down the road from East Greenston. Like I said, on the coast.

looks like a beautiful day. No need to go to the Bahama's with a day like that.

Val's butterflies inspired me to go find this one:



Back a few steps for the backdrop (Stonington Harbor, CT)



Now that everyone has me thinking of summer I can start thinking about July in Maine (Pemequid Point in this one)



Which now has Jake dreaming too...



Then thoughts turn to Franconia Ridge and our upcoming July hike



And August in Acadia (I still can't decide which I love more - Maine or New Hampshire)



Bar Harbor from Cadillac at sunrise



Hard to beat anywhere that the mountains meet the ocean




Man, can't wait for summer to be here now. Thanks for kicking off this thread Patrick and giving us all something new to dream about!

Looks like Spring has arrived somewhere anyway. Won't be long in New England now. Had a flock of about 50 robins show up in our back yard at the end of last week. Always a good sign!
