Well I did not get to hike over to the Alpine Garden on Sunday's sunrise drive but I shot these at the begining of the auto road behind the gas station.
This one here you can see the begining of the Auto Road.
This one is my favorite with the White Birches in the back.

Very nice. That stand of Birches are one of my favorites.

Is there really any BAD weather???
Just love the Lupines. The backdrop of birches makes them even more beautiful.

Keep close to Nature's heart...
and break clear away, once in awhile,
and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.

This Bunchberry was a bit higher up and getting past prime
Beautiful boreal forest between Starr King and Waumbek. Best visited on rainy day!

From the letter of my Great Uncle, Samuel Willard (accompanied by my grandfather Henry), to Governor Dummer on August 16, 1725, explaining the reason for his return, being instructed to "range all the country", of the Wawobadenik (White Mountains) July 19-August 16, 1725. I am a 13th generation New Englander and proud of it.
Nice stuff,everyone.
Fishercat, what did you use for a filter on that hike. Is that a softening filter or is it natural fog on the lens? It worked very nicely, giving a natural feel of wet forest.![]()
