I stopped at the Strawberry Festival being held in Hollis, NH on Sunday. There was a long line so I opted to visit the graveyard behind the Congregational Church.

Good Morning from the Granite State,

There is plenty of granite to be seen in New Hampshire and what can’t be seen will found when one attempts to plant a garden. Recently I heard of an outcropping of white stone in nearby Temple, New Hampshire. With the help of a few folks on Facebook and a passing motorist, I found White Ledges on Kendall Road.

It is a short hike along a beautiful tree lined road next to field to the Ledges. I was told to be underwhelmed but the walk was delighful and I saw a number of people walking their dogs.

Nice walk, no black flies biting, but I did see them fluttering around

 

First indication of the Ledge. at the end of the path

 

I’m guessing that the rock is smoky quartz with a touch of rose quartz. It covered an extensive area and is clearly visible on a satellite view on Google mapssatellite view on Google maps

 

A touch of other color

 

I wonder how deep this ledge goes

The only sounds I heard at the quarry were the trickle of water off the rocks. Such a quiet and peaceful place. I plan to return.

Morning at Coast Guard Beach

One of the many sculptures seen near the home of New Boston artist Jon Brooks

Challenging puzzle that my nephew and his wife mastered.

I took a walk along the Esopus river while attending my cousins wedding. Always nice to encounter some random natural sculpture.

Another Jon Brooks creation

My daughter on a post, the question is how did she get there?
