Hiking Up May Brook with Arthur

Our house is the white speck on the right.

When our friend Arthur visited in early June, we took a short hike up May Brook. May Brook begins from May Pond and goes by the house, flowing into the beaver bog. It was a rather short hike because Arthur had to return to New Hampshire early. Arthur never wears shoes, so he hiked barefoot! He is so used to going barefoot that he never gets hurt. These are some of my favorite photos of this tramp we took.  All the photos will open large in a new window if you click on them.

A dam that kids made for a swimming hole
has been taken by beaver who built their own, bigger dam.

An ancient stone wall follows May Brook.

I played with shutter speeds to get the water effect I wanted.
