White Mountains of New Hampshire

The White Mountains are pretty mountains, not large and not peaked -- although we did not drive to the top of Mt. Washington the eastern US's tallest mountain. The day was rainy, cloudy and we would have seen nothing from the top. They are picturesque and full of quiet pleasures --
a favorite ski area for all of New England. Part of the Appalachian trail runs through them, and they are full of hiking trails.  Even more they are full of streams. And all the streams are full of stones, they have cascades and water falls. They are very pretty and gurgle, rush, and sound delightful.

I have only this one photograph that Leslie took on her phone, it's very typical. Unfortunately my much used and well loved Cannon Sure Shot camera made a couple of loud popping noises and, I'm told, shot a few
sparks. Death throes.  Happily Leslie had the same camera and took quite a few fine photos when we went to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons ten years.  That camera disappeared and she purchased another Cannon but a different model. Then the disappeared camera was found. So she gave me the replacement camera which she had with her but I didn't get any photos. I use a little flip phone still (yes, I'm a borderline Luddite) and I don't know how to transfer photos from that phone to my computer so I don't use it. Actually I realize that ignorance really isn't bliss ... but it's the lazy way out.
