Windsor, Vermont/Cornish, New Hampshire

There are about 100 covered bridges in Vermont. This one, which connects New Hampshire and Vermont, isn't the prettiest, but it is the longest.

St. Johnsbury, Vermont

Paying respects at Dog Chapel, a place that is both sad and uplifting, where thousands and thousands of departed dogs have been memorialized. The walls inside are completely covered in notes and pictures that have been left by their owners.

Salem, Massachusetts

This temporary art installation by Konstantin Dimopoulos is meant to draw attention to the deforestation happening around the globe. There are currently 26 other places around the world to see the Blue Trees, including Vancouver, Singapore and Australia. The harmless blue paint will wash away with rain and weather, so maybe we were lucky to see them before last night's big storm came through!

Isles of Shoals, New Hampshire/Maine

Enjoying the porch at the historic Oceanic Hotel on Star Island, and wondering if the Lady Ghost of White Island might put in an appearance at the lighthouse.

 

Hampton Falls, New Hampshire

The steeple on the Hampton Falls First Baptist Church is unique. Legend says that the beer bottle at the top of the steeple acknowledges that a beer company quietly donated funds to construct it in 1859. And someone certainly wanted it to be known that the clock was donated, since instead of numbers, the face has letters spelling out the words MEMORIAL GIFT. We visited the church around quarter past M.

Hampton, New Hampshire

In 1656, Hampton resident Goody Cole was found guilty of witchcraft and was flogged and jailed. She was feared and hated for the rest of her impoverished life. Almost 300 years later (1938) some Hampton residents apparently had regrets and formed “The Society in Hampton for the Apprehension of Those Falsely Accusing Eunice “Goody” Cole of Having Familiarity with the Devil" to clear her name. It was evidently slow going. Her citizenship was restored, but it took 25 more years (1963) to dedicate this stone in her memory, and another 50 years after that (2013) to add a plaque explaining the meaning of the stone.
