The hike last Friday had a long stretch of fun scrambling up steep rock slabs. It was accented by beautiful waterfalls that I climbed along. The upper right pic shows the base of one of the climbs and the lower right pic is a view looking down near the top of another climb. The section was 4,600 ft (1,400m) long with a vertical gain of 1,500 ft (450m) and an average grade of 33%. Fun!! #MountainMonday #hiking #nature

Can you see the trail here? After climbing up steep slabs of rock during the ascent on last week’s hike in the White Mountains, NH, I was greeted with an expansive field of boulders through which I traversed —- over two miles (3+ km) of boulders like this. Made for slow going. This mountain (Mt Washington) is nicknamed “the rock pile” for good reason! #FootpathFriday #hiking #mountains

First view! When hiking up a mountainside with the goal of reaching a summit, it is always exciting when first seeing a view of the destination, even while still far away. Here was my first view of the ridge I was hiking to in my recent hike in the White Mountains, NH. I stopped and enjoyed the moment before I continued up the incline. #MountainMonday #hiking #nature

Check out the roots! The trail that I hiked on in my recent adventure in the White Mountains, NH varied dramatically as I hiked from the trailhead up to the ridge. While much of the trail consisted of either steep rock slabs or a boulder field up high, it looked much more like a trail down low such as in this pic with roots, small rocks, and dirt. #FootpathFriday #hiking #mountains

Had dinner just now on the beach watching this. So beautiful! #ocean #sunset

With snowshoeing season over and spring backpacking around the corner, this is a good time to head south for some fun in warm, clear water! I’ll be mostly off the grid for the next week or so.
See you on the other side!

I returned last night from a wonderful trip to the British Virgin Islands. Spent a week on a sailboat, sailing to four islands, and snorkeling and scuba diving off of two of them. The weather cooperated nicely and I thoroughly enjoyed the warm clear water!! More pics to come! #sailing #ocean #scuba

Two of the islands that I sailed to had small rock islands near them. Once the sailboat was tied up at each main island, I then took the dinghy to the nearby rock island to scuba dive. Here are pics from below the surface as I dived around one of those rock islands. It’s a different world underwater! #ocean #scuba

The lone frog that is now entering its fifth year in my backyard pond finally "warmed" up to me today and allowed me to get to a 20 ft (6m) distance for a pic before it quickly disappeared beneath the surface of the water. The sun is out, making everything warm-- a great day for a frog!

All of the recent snow here in SE Massachusetts has remained on the ground making for great snowshoeing conditions. Enjoyed a sunset hike this evening, snowshoeing through a local forest. Had the place to myself— only sound was of my snowshoes crunching on the snow. 😀❄️ #snowshoeing #sunset #nature

With all of the snow that fell here recently, I got my snowshoes out almost as fast as I got out my snow shovel. Trucks have finally plowed out some local trailheads and I was able to get out into a forest yesterday and snowshoe! Stuck mostly on an established trail, but also explored a bit off trail along the edge of one of the lakes. So great to get out on the snow! #FootpathFriday #snowshoeing #winter
