A few vacation photos

We just got home yesterday from a week at the cabin in northern New Hampshire. We had a great time. The pictures don't do it justice, because we don't spend a lot of time taking pictures. We did a lot of very fun things. Both George and I caught a fish. I caught mine off the dock, and George wasn't there to see it, because he had left for the cabin for a few minutes. I caught a lovely 15" lake salmon, that was pretty as can be. I knew I had a smallish fish on the line, and tried to be very gentle, just pulling him in slowly so I could unhook him. He was beautiful and sleek and fell off the hook himself just at the last minute, so that was great.

We did a lot of loon watching, especially a loon family that hangs out in a bay near the road. We also saw lots of moose, including one in broad daylight standing in swampy water. Of course, we didn't have the camera ready. We took trips into town, did a little shopping, a little fishing, a lot of sight seeing, some cooking, a lot of reading, a lot of rummy-playing, a little too much ice-cream eating at our lodge Moose Alley Ice Cream Shop, and just had a very lovely relaxing week in a beautiful spot. Here's the pics.
