One of the camera clubs I belong to does a “monthly challenge”, where a topic is announced and folks shoot images during the month to “match” the topic. The current challenge is “looking down”. I don’t often participate in these challenges, preferring instead to go my own way.<\/p>\n

However, a couple of weekends ago, I headed out for a stroll down “our” road in NH and decided that there is a\u00a0 lot of interesting subject matter on a dirt road during mud in NH.<\/p>\n

Mud… that is the season in northern New England that comes between winter and “black fly”. Mud occurs about the same\u00a0 time that the maple sap is running.\u00a0 And of course, by the time “black fly” is over summer arrives… we have no spring to speak of in northern New England!<\/p>\n

So, here are the “keepers” from my stroll. Most are along the lines of “looking down” with a few others thrown in at the end. The first image (which is actually the last one I took during the outing) is the one I submitted… just for fun!<\/p>\n
