Easter 2015

Image
 Easter 2015 - New Ipswich, NH I've been posting photos from the New Ipswich Historical Society for several weeks. However instead of posting photos from the 1900s I chose some photos that I took at an Easter Egg hunt in 2015. It was organized by the late Deb Holmes who was the head of Recreation Department. Those of us who knew Deb knew how well suited she was to this position. Her enthusiasm was infectious. It was fun taking these photos because the kids were having so much fun. Because it was Easter in New Ipswich, there was still a huge pile of snow outside. Here are the photos.

Look What I Saw at the Green Center

 April 16, 2022 This Ibanez Performance acoustic guitar might be just the thing for a budding musician. It is missing the nut on the headpiece so I would recommend bringing it to a luthier for an appraisal. It might be worth the repair. I believe they cost just under $200 new. Look WHO I saw at the Green Center Boone always has a kind word to say. It is a joy to see him at the Green Center. Schedule The Green Center will be open April 30, 2022 Hours 9 - 12 Shopping Only 1 - 3 Donations Only The Green Center is open to residents of New Ipswich and Greenville

A Caturday Puzzle

Image
 Harder than it looks My sister gave this jigsaw puzzle to my wife as a birthday present. It was unlike any other jigsaw puzzle that I had ever seen. The pieces don't interlock and the slightest touch disrupts it. My wife was able to solve it but even she admitted that it was a hard one. My Type of Puzzle Life is puzzling enough, I'll stick with this puzzle for now. Wordle 301 5/6 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

The Eagles of Smithville Reservoir

Image
 The Eagles have Landed It is really exciting to see Bald Eagles in New Ipswich. The last couple of years there were just a few sightings but now they seem to be present near every body of water. I watched at least six juveniles harassing ducks at Smithville Reservoir (Damsite 35).  Wildlife Photography I've yet to get a sharp photo of these birds. They are quite far away and I'm using a 400mm lens with a 1.4X multiplier. The sensor crop factor 2X in 35mm terms. I'm using a fast shutter speed which introduces a lot of luminance noise. I'll keep trying since they seem to have taken up permanent residence.
