Bedford

The weather has kept me from getting out too much. I refuse to go out when the weather is below 10 degrees. When I toured Bedford, I didn’t get to spend as much time as usual, but then I remembered I visited Bedford two years ago. So, I thought I’d combine my image sets. The […]

2013 A Year In Review

As I closed out 2013, I thought I would jump on the “Best of” bandwagon. Here are my favorite images from each of the towns I toured in 2013. I toured 43 towns. I didn’t quite get to a town a week, but considering all of the time I spent out-of-state, I think I did […]

Stoddard

Stoddard is the 17th town in Cheshire County that I have toured. Only 6 more towns and Cheshire County will be complete. There are plenty of outdoor activities to keep you busy in Stoddard. I have hiked, hunted , photographed and just enjoyed the scenery. I mentioned the Harris Center in my post about Harrisville, […]

Rindge

I probably should have saved Rindge for a different time of year, but once again, this will give me a good reason to go back. Rindge is home to the Cathedral of the Pines. The grounds are open from May to October. I was able to see a small amount of their 236 acres, but […]

Mont Vernon

I have to say that the weather last week left me feeling pretty uninspired. The temperature stayed in the teens, there was no snow and everything was looking a little blah. After our nor’easter this weekend, I set out to see what I could find. I drove over to Mont Vernon, a town I used […]

Milford

Milford, the granite town… I spent several years living in Milford back in the early 1970’s. All I can say is that almost everything changes. The convenience store that our apartment was attached to is now a pet salon and the house that once was home to my best friend is now an insurance agency, […]

Thanksgiving Outside New Hampshire

I know the title of this blog is TouringNH, but I have decided that every once in a while it is ok to share some of the beauty that surrounds New Hampshire as well. This Thanksgiving, Steve and I decided to get away. We drove about 2 1/2 hours to Stowe, VT where I had […]

Hillsborough

Like Swanzey, Hillsborough is a town I have visited many times for its unique bridges but in Hillsborough it is the collection of stone arch bridges that draws me there. At one time there were almost a dozen of these stone arch bridges in Hillsborough, today 4 of them are still in use. The Hillsborough […]

Jaffrey

Like Swanzey, I’ve been to Jaffrey many times. Most of the photos in this post are recent, but a few are from a couple years ago. I have to be honest, I had been putting off touring Jaffrey, even though it is the next town over. I wanted to wait until I had the opportunity […]

Swanzey

I have been to Swanzey many, many times. It is home to the Cheshire County Fair and  Sam’s Outdoor Outfitters (where I bought my kayak) and plenty of other great places. But one of the things that first enticed me to photograph Swanzey is that it has several covered bridges. I began photographing New Hampshire’s covered […]
