We have just returned from a camping and kayaking vacation in the North East. I wrote this a few days ago, but had no opportunity to post it.

–We are camping in New Hampshire, in the depths of a magnificent forest. These campsites seem to me like God’s mansions in a fantastic natural setting. I brought watercolor on this trip instead of oils and this was a 30 minute study from our campsite picnic table this morning.

The trees are extremely tall, straight pines, with the lower branches being oak and beech. The pine scent all around is delicious!
