The tall ships came to Portsmouth and it was quite a parade. I thought the masts framed the North Church quite nicely.

Someday I will have a museum of LL Bean bookpacks through the ages.
And Back to School we go...
Summer really is over. :(
BTW...there should be a law against starting school BEFORE Labour Day!
The last lights of summer glowing off the New Hampshire landscape as we ready ourselves for fall.
Ahhh summer...where have you gone?
Why do you choose to leave so soon?
There are still fish to catch
Boats to row
Water to swim...
I hear the school bells ring
And know it is time to say good-bye
Until we meet again.

White Island named for "Shoaler" Capt. Joseph White, born 1750 and murdered Salem, MA 1830. One of only two lighthouses on the NH coast. Lighthouse established in 1789. Writer Celia Thaxter lived here in the 1840s until she was 12 when her father was lighthouse keeper. She later wrote about her experience on White Island in her books and poems including 'Among the Isles of Shoals', published in 1873.
With only 11 miles of coastline, I guess we don't need more than 2 lighthouses.

What I ponder in the Pond
I see in my eye
Reflecting this, then that
Deflecting matter and light
Ringing Bright and Night.
