Because you know, it’s New Hampshire.
Yesterday I spent an hour or so wandering the woods behind my house. It was a fairly warm seasonal spring day here in the good old Granite State.
That was yesterday.
This is today.
April in New Hampshire wouldn’t be April in New Hampshire without a snow storm or two. Or three.
Who knows, because well, it’s April in New Hampshire.
Yeah, we get that in Wisconsin, too.
We’ve had such a relatively mild winter that it’s easy to forget that it is only the middle of April.
It was so warm and sunny 2 hours ago in Paris… it’s pouring rain right now… Any which way, I’m smiling and enjoying the moment and I know you do too.
Weather and light can make or break a photograph, and since there’s little we can do to change them, might as well embrace whatever we’re given.
Definitely! ☉☉☉
Illinois had snow, too, as one of my friends showed me in a photo she sent. Now that we’re in Arizona, we’re unlikely to see any of that white stuff at any time of year (at least where we are). I’ll miss it.

Wow. That’s a drastic change in weather.
That’s New England for you. Parts of the state got snow again last night and I believe there’s more on the way. It’s not at all uncommon in April to get 3″-4″ of snow one day, and be in the 60’s or higher the next.
Both delightful shots, Jeff, and what a difference a day makes!+
Thanks Gary.
I really love that the leaves have been left where they fell. I imagine a lot of wild critters are loving that protective layer. Great photos!
We have a little over 2 acres, with less than a third lawn, the rest is all woods left to do as it pleases. We really enjoy the wildlife that comes through our yard and we what them to feel right at home. If only the damn deer would stop eating my hostas! LOL!!
It’s like last year in Switzerland!! Not like now, we haven’t seen rain for a month!! So strange… Makes the confinement a bit more difficult…
Love the golden tones of these photos!
It’s always been my opinion that boring weather leads to boring photos, so I’m not going to complain about going from one extreme to another.
The light, especially in the first photo was indeed quite nice. When I made that photo I was aimlessly wandering through the woods and when I saw a nice patch of sunlight I would see if I could work with it. For the first photo I didn’t realize how much I liked the composition until I got home and started working on the photos. I was so intent on the way the light was falling on the forest floor, the composition took a bit of a back seat.
