Family rail trail with a snack stop at Canaan farmers market on the way. Pretty toasty, mid to upper 80ยฐF range.

The wetlands were fantastic. A beaver moved in a couple years ago, which has really helped to keep this area from drying out during out droughts. If you look close in the third photo you can just see the beaver rounding the corner.

Product idea: camera app that really shows how steep a trail is. None of this โlooks easyโ on something you can barely go up or fear for your life riding down.
Trail work day. Ferns! Moss! Tail light! Sticks
Kid asked me what I wanted for my birthday. That's an easy question. โ:^)
Turn 63 this weekend so, of course, I have to post some videos showing Iโm not over the hill. ๐
I posted Red Eft photos yesterday. On the same hike I also ran across what I think is a Red Eft starting to transition into the adult stage. First photo is a Red Eft for comparison. Second photo it looks more business, er, newt like. โ:^)

And, best for last??
Springtails!
Seriously every time I see something that doesnโt look right it always turns out to be Springtails. Today it was a small puddle that looked kinda gritty on top.
This is zoomed way in.
Morning hike and ran across one waterfall from the recent rains.

When wild roses, wild grapes, and a few other fast growing vines and bushes vie for the same space you get a six foot tall impenetrable mound of pain.

Caught a couple frogs chilling in the egg mass of frog legs. Laying more? Remembering childhood? Snacking? No idea, but there's more teeny tadpoles hatching.
Oh, hello little Junco!
I never expected to find such a variety of wildlife under our camper with the camera: skunk, possum, porcupine, couple cats, many mice, bunch of birds, and an ermine.

Bushwhacking through the wilds of New Hampshire and came across an actual Mosstodon!
