I know there are a lot of flat-landers out there...These are people that come from out of state to see the beautiful mountains of New Hampshire...or recreate in the White Mountains. I took a couple of pictures this morning that I just got around to down loading in to the computer. The cloud cover was struggling to get over the 4,000 to 5,000 foot peaks, and it looks like smoke trapped in the valleys.

About a month ago I was at this same spot for a few fall foliage pix...Same view different feel.

We have several building projects and land for sale in this neighborhood...so I'm at this spot frequently. No matter the season The views are striking, so I try to get a shot of different weather ...and leaf coloration.

This shot is getting me in the mood for snow...once the leaves have passed I'm ready for the white stuff, honestly I don't like the in between seasons. Full on summer, Peak Foliage or a major dumping of the white stuff...I'm good with any of those. Spring is O.K. if it comes on fast, but I don't love the rain anytime of the year.

And back to a deep green again...The White Mountains are beautiful, even when they are not white. So for all you flat-landers out there...there is no bad time to visit the Mountains of New Hampshire we have something for everyone.

Steve.. I think this pictures are gorgeous. I'm sure the pictures don't do the actual view justice. Thanks for sharing and bringing us into your world.

Gorgeous pictures, but the peaks are at 5000 ft? We would consider you a flat lander, LOL...

Well I've never been called at flat-lander before! But I suppose that's what I am. Wonderful place to visit, but I couldn't live in the mountains ( I like warm winters). But Steve- I'm always grateful to see your photos which look like postcards. You allow us all to visit often.

I live at the beach - but just got back from Tennessee where I was attending a CRS class. It was nice to visit the hills, the foliage and see the clouds on the peaks in the morning. Enjoyed seeing your seasons in NH via your photos.

Kim... I knew I would get a rocky mountain state, that would suggest our 4,000+ peaks were tiny compared to "their Mountain" OK fine...but we can get to the ocean in an hour...Give me me big slopes and water and I'm a happy guy.

Steve, you are tempting us to come up there to compare your peaks with the peaks of the west! They all are beautiful in their own right! The snow on the mountains is natures icing on the cake! I am sure you will be seeing it very soon!

Caren...We get it all, New England can have many seasons in the same week.

Bill...While I was working on a new header for my blog, I came across this same view throughout the year. It is located in a subdivision that is very near my home, and I find myself taking pictures here often. It funny when you look at them separately how different the time of the year make the same...place look completely different.
