I saw the flamingos ... there are not native to NH, wondering if these were imported from Florida??
When I pulled over I thought the house across the street would make a nice picture...

Pat, be careful; those flamingos can get very ornery and vicious when they flock together in a pack that size!!

I called a pelican a penguin once a long, long time ago, now we call them penguins for fun. You should see the looks we get at the beach.

There was a guy down the road from me who got flamingoed. He was the coach of a little league team, if I'm not mistaken.

Day 236 - August 24th, 2013.... Part I

Part one indicates there will be a part II (or more)

Grabbed the Miata sports car (top down of course) and headed about 2 hours away to Charestown NH. Located right off the Connecticut River is the Fort at No. 4. The Fort at No.4 – Living History Museum

Built in the 1740's during the Indian wars, it was also used as a muster point for Gen. John Stark to muster his men for the Battle of Bennington. It has been rebuilt to serve as a living History Museum. This weekend is their Revolutuionary War Weekend, displays, encampments, crafts of teh period and a mock battle. I will have several posts with some of these pics....


Entrance to the fort just left of center.. Colonial encampment up to the west of the Fort




Interior of Fort and one of several cannons inside...




One of the guardposts and a cooking oven in the square.




Groups of British Soldiers (Redcoats) drilling near their encampment off the south wall.

Pat, you are really taking some nice pictures. Some of these almost look 3D.

 

[Don Kuykendall_RIP]

Some of my favorite shots are from Frontier days at a park near here. They are just fun to shoot,

Jeff, thank you very much... it was so bright and sunny, tough to keep from overexposure... and inside those rooms, some of the shots were 3200-6400 ISO (used no flash)

The D7100 was a joy to work with and I was very pleased with the results... Your comments make it that much sweeter... Thanks again!

I absolutely agree Don.. Probably the 2 most fun shooting days I had was this one & the recent baseball game... The zoo earlier this year was pretty good also!
