I nominate the Ostrich as the state bird, noted for sticking it's head in the sand to hide. Missouri is now a legal state.

It is very dramatic and mysterious at the same time. The color palette is excellent.

Yeah, I'm just kidding and am skeptical of anything I get from the net; except, of course, reddit which an absolutely reliable source.

What, Vermont is better than us? that sucks. But Massachusetts, Connecticut, rhode Island, and even New York are better than us. We really suck.

I have been all over the US, Ive seen a bit of Canada, and quite a bit of the world at large. There is so much I never have nor ever will see, except in a nice photo like this. Nice shot and a beauty spot.

The drive from Yreka to Eureka, going either way, is one of my favorite rides ever.

Reply to No USPS deliveries for a week by rchhe
This is just about efficiency. Certainly money is saved when they only deliver once a week. Soon there will be increased efficiency when plan B introduces once a month delivery. I mostly get junk mail so I don't much care.

Reply to hello, after living almost 8 years in NH , we are moving to AZ. bittersweet feelings. I am sad to leave our beautiful NH. anyone else moving out of state? do you have the same feelings of missing out on the mountains and the NE summer? by crazycurious7
I lived in California and loved it. I moved to New Hampshire and love it. No matter where you go, there you are. Make the most of Arizona, even if it is Phoenix.

Reply to Fine people of VT please settle a household debate for me: should an opened bottle of maple syrup be stored in the refrigerator or cupboard? by Kashmir79
A good thing about Maple Syrup, even if it gets moldy, just skim it off, bring to a boil. and it's good again.

Thank you for the article. I have had that picture for a long while and often wondered about the man and his story.

You may be correct. I deliberately left what I think is the farmer in the picture. The wagon and horse alone were worth the shot but with the colt alongside it became precious.

I'm not sure about the coast, but for much of NH April is black fly season, so buy mosquito nets and wide brimmed hats. They are not there if it rains or is breezy, they don't come in the house and they disappear at night. When they are present it can be infuriating; not so much the bites as they swarm in your face. By May they are gone, mostly. Be prepared.

It looks like a pano. I'm not saying is but is such a nice shot to get from one shot with a lens.

Way beyond amazing shot. Really, just a 24 to 150 straight shot? Wow!

Reply to comment by Maleficent_Rope_7844 in reliable older model used cars for Vermont weather by bramletabercrombe
Oddly I borrowed the Subaru because the roads were slippery and once on the road it was good. At the bottom of my hill I would have been better off with my ancient VW Jetta with 5 speed. I met this hill in 1967 so I go very slow but sometimes that just doesn't matter. Big storms are okay but those odd moments where nature greases the wheels can be entertaining.

I know that but they were locked and sliding, just a very slippery moment.

It happened to me last night. I borrowed my son's Subaru to run down to the local store. My hill is steep and the last 30 yards is paved; brakes on and nothing, just sliding. Pumped but the brakes were working. I finally came to a halt just at the bottom but the AWD was no help at all. No surprise to me but my son thinks Subarus are magic.

Oh no, red wine is more pure, definitely. As for Maple syrup, it is a matter of preference. I just prefer the best one. Light Amber is true nectar of the gods.

Didn't she get banned in Wisconsin recently? Oh, that's right, it was her song that mentioned rainbows. Rainbows are controversial now so they are a forbidden topic, so I won't even mention them.
