White Mountains





















White Mountains

My family has this tradition of going camping in the White Mountains, NH every summer. These were taken summer of 2015. One year later from a tragic accident (that is alright now) and a memorable trip. We have traditions up in the White Mountains. We set up the tent, go grocery shopping, make a family dinner by the fire, then the next day is July 4th and we celebrate in town at Zeb's general store and candy shop and then walking over to Ben and Jerry's before the fireworks begin, etc etc. Aside from all the fun in the woods or in town, it's the fact that getting away from real life, problems, social media, and all the fun stuff is what makes the trip that more enjoyable. I couldn't use my phone service even if I wanted to......no service. Once a year. Every year.

Salem 15





















Salem 15

My good friend, Erin, and I drove down over to Salem in October (mind you these sets are from 2015...I can safely say I'm a slacker.) When we first got to Salem, MA, we walked into this empty, creepy laundry mat. From there the spooks started one by one. We went to Count Orlok's Nightmare Gallery, walked around by the grave yard, shopped around trinkets and things, looked around for the little witch statue, and then ended up getting lost around a creepy forest close by. 

(Editor's note: Sorry for this overdue post. I'm working on it...)

Baby Steps

Hi! Anyone who is out there reading this! What I called a "slump" turned into a hiatus with taking pictures, editing, posting,...etc. I have so many photos ready to post, so stay tuned. 

I think I'm also going to stop titling my photos. Don't get me wrong, I loved giving them individual titles, but it was too time consuming for me. Maybe down the line I'll start that back up. For now, I'm focusing on posting more often and maybe bringing my camera everywhere I go? ....Baby steps.

Birthday Boy

No Peeking
Gore-cakes
Guessing
A Surprised and Happy Guy
Jon 
(The Birthday Boy)

Birthday Boy

A few days early, but I surprised Jon after our dinner at Jack's Abbey. I ran inside to grab my camera and a blindfold (a bandana in this case). Hopefully he didn't peek under the blindfold (bandana) when I set the cupcakes in front of  him.  He tried to guess what it was and was feeling around and I suggested that that's not a good idea (he almost smudged the bloody cupcakes!) He takes off the blindfold (bandana) and his smile grew and grew across his face.  GORE-CAKES! For the lover of all things horror, spooky, scary/birthday boy himself!! Happy 22nd Birthday, Jon. 
I love you and watching you grow day by day never ceases to amaze me.

Jericho Lake

Four sleeping bags, my flannel, my family, and my camera....
We're all off to Jericho State Park in NH for 4 days and 3 nights for Father's day. 
The whole family in one tiny cabin for 4 days...honestly, it was bearable even between the snoring and sleep talking. Our view just from opening our front door in the cabin was breathtaking. I couldn't wait to wake up to that for a few morning. This trip was filled with exploring the woods, trails, waterfalls and many back and forth trips for necessities at Wal-mart. To the first and #1 man in my life....Thank you for sharing your love for nature and camping in general with me. I love you, Dad. Hope your Father's Day was filled with nothing but relaxing (except for when we needed you to start the fire for us.)
