The Shapleigh back yard woods road
to the ponds on this warm sunny day in the sixties.



The ice is gone for the year.
Impressionist art has arrived.



A pond painting.



The cattails of last season leave a pattern on the water
while below them new cattails are ready to grow.



Frog eggs maturing in the vernal pool.
What is a vernal pool or pond?


A woods stream flowing in patterns of color.



Underwater colors of a woods stream.



All of this happening high on Fort Ridge
where you can see northwest to New Hampshire.

What kind of camera did I use to take these photos?
A small simple easy-to-use point and shoot
five megapixel digital camera.
