Thank you!<br />I know exactly what you mean about stopping to take a photo of the Mt. Washington Hotel view at Bretton Woods. And, as I know you realize, it’s never the identical view. Not only does it change from season to season, but there are daily permutations as well. It’s almost like taking a photo of a superstar model who is continually putting on a different set of clothing. It’s the same model, but a different look with each change of wardrobe.<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-53589183653960242512012-05-16T14:12:56.890-04:002012-05-16T14:12:56.890-04:00This was an enjoyable post, John, and thank you. ...This was an enjoyable post, John, and thank you. The waterfall photo is lovely, and the Mt. Washington (and Hotel) photo is great! We take that photo every time we visit the area (2-3 times per year) and never tire of it.Steve K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13788158918508099291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-24633436206507456152012-05-15T22:54:08.099-04:002012-05-15T22:54:08.099-04:00Hi Rita,

You invariably manage to offer insightful perspectives.<br /><br />Regarding that “newborn” beech that I photographed, I fear that might have been its “15 minutes of fame”! That unfortunate little guy was growing right on the edge of the trail corridor. I highly suspect that “death by trampling” will soon be the cause of its demise.<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-45884025805380999372012-05-15T18:06:26.221-04:002012-05-15T18:06:26.221-04:00It's wonderful that you maintain half a dozen ...It's wonderful that you maintain half a dozen trails, John. Nature needs more volunteers like you!<br />I enjoyed your discussion, and the comparison of your trails with offspring is a great metaphor.<br />The pictures are amazing too—I love beech trees and it's wonderful to see a newborn one! I hope it has a long and happy life; that shouldn't be a problem with caretakers such as you around.<br /><br />RitaOne Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-78805278331459907542012-05-15T14:08:35.259-04:002012-05-15T14:08:35.259-04:00Very well put!

Did you have trail maintenance and/or caretaker duties relative to that structure? Or, were you just a happy hiker who frequented that area? Nothing wrong with that! :)<br /><br />Thanks for taking a moment to post your comments.<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-82530577149884796582012-05-14T18:46:01.572-04:002012-05-14T18:46:01.572-04:00Lucky for Tremont & Owls Cliff that they'r...Lucky for Tremont & Owls Cliff that they're not "on the way to" anywhere and not 1000' higher, eh?

As you say, “Nature loves a mess!” Just as one acquires a taste for things like coffee, I think perhaps it’s an acquired taste to see the beauty and value of Mother Nature’s disarray!<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-10158846976655242962012-05-13T19:49:23.827-04:002012-05-13T19:49:23.827-04:00Hi John,

Srini and I keep thinking we should adopt a trail (or two). This gets us thinking more since you tackle six! Your photo of the Mt. Washington Hotel looks like a post card - great shot.
