This is a picture I shot this summer with my new Nikon digital SLR camera. (Mme. Windsor and I are both avid photographers!) This is Franconia Notch, here in New Hampshire. See where this is on Google Maps. Until a few years ago, up on the mountain on the left, there was a rock formation that looked like a face. It was called “The Old Man of the Mountain,” and was a special symbol for our state, but one night, the rocks just crumbled and the face fell off the mountain. My family used to live farther north, and we used to drive through “The Notch” a lot, and we always used to try to see “The Old Man.” Sometimes you couldn’t because it was lost in the clouds, like on this day. I still think it’s very pretty!
These are some of my other pictures from this summer, if you’re interested!
Wow. These pictures are beautiful. It is a nice reminder of summer… and actually of some of the colors I was surrounded by not so long ago in Marrakech.

If you click on individual pictures in my Picasa albums, there should be a link on the right to download a copy of the picture.
I have some more photo albums at Flickr, too: http://www.flickr.com/photos/margo_burns will take you to my public photos. You need to have a Flickr account (free — let me know your username) so that I can share my private albums. One of my pictures there (see link below) is of the public high school where my father was the principal for 26 years. The sculpture is of Abraham Lincoln, and is by the same sculptor who did the statue of Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. This particular building is named after my Dad.

I don’t think I have a Flickr account yet, do I? I will look into that. And, how does one make that smiley face?
