Paradise Meadows

Last week my husband and I went to this place in the mountains about 45 min from where we live. This is on Mount Washington near the resort and ski area. We went for some hiking/walking on the trails through the meadows. It’s a lovely way to spend a day if the weather is nice.

This is the Mount Washington Alpine Resort. This place is known for skiing in the winter.

I took this picture as we were coming back down a hill toward the wood path. You can see the wood path in this picture.

The Meadows were so peaceful and there were different plants to see. Some of flat areas where water sits or runs through. We were on a path that led to a lake. We made it to the first lake and then turned around.

 

 

 

While at this lake we were standing looking around at the scenery and 2 birds landed near us and so I was taking pictures of them. They are not afraid of people. Later I noticed an unusual tree. It was an evergreen where the bark peels. So I took this picture. While I was doing so a bird flew right at the tree and landed on a branch. I couldn’t believe that in the picture you can see the bird flying!!!

While we were walking it rained on us twice. Not very hard, just a light rain really. Oh and there was also some hail. I could have walked for longer that day but it was time to go back. A nice outing to get away from home for a few hours. :)
