The Fish Pier & Strawbery Banke in the Fall

Today’s post is dedicated to my very special mother and father. Birthdays usually revolve around people getting gifts or wishing you congrats on being another year older, but I’d like to take the opportunity to thank Mom and Dad for getting together 28 years and 9 months ago today and deciding to have me. Ever since then they have both been nothing but 1,000% supportive, caring, loving, thoughtful, insightful, funny, smart, willing to teach, willing to listen (all of this unconditionally) – and I always joke every year about making a point to thank them for going to such expense to make me – but I truly want them to know how incredible they are and how much it means to me that they’ve been the perfect parents for me in every way. Thanks for the birthday – I love you guys!

Today’s shots are of the Commercial Fish Pier as seen from Prescott Park and Strawbery Banke during the fall with some lovely foliage.

A Rainy Alley

Here’s some fresh content for everyone to enjoy! A new scene, a newly fixed camera, and some rainy snow. The alley you see here is actually the brick walkway off of Church Street in between the North Church and 10 Pleasant Street (the building where Me & Ollie’s and Stonewall Kitchen are located) – with the entrance to Bank of America in the distance. I’ve always enjoyed this little alley right around the corner from work – where some trash & recycling bins are tucked and where the ventilation system blasts warm air (which is particularly nice on a cold wintry day). I decided to get a fresh cup of coffee in the afternoon and take advantage of having the camera back after its absence for the week. It’s looking to be a sunny & moderate weekend…so get out and enjoy it!

The Green Door on Ladd Street & The Sides of the Steeple

Today’s post features a glimpse of an alleyway on Ladd Street, found next to the UBS office and its neighbor, a brick building (with a white painted face) that appears to house Moe’s (yes, the famous sandwich Moe’s) HQ in Portsmouth. I love all the bricks nestled in the little alleyway, highlighted by the green door in the distance.

Also, in contrast to the bright morning shot above, here are two very different takes of the North Church from the past week. The first shot was taken during the most snowy part of Tuesday night’s storm, while the second shot was taken on Friday evening – beautiful & simple and complimented by the crescent moon in the night sky.

During & After the Snow

In keeping with yesterday’s post, here are a couple fun shots from yesterday’s heavy snow storm. Above you can see the reflection of Market Street and the North Church in the glass of the storefront, along with some folks enjoying a stroll in the storm. Below you can see the moody sky after the snow quieted down for the night, as seen from my 2nd story window.

A Snowy Downtown Evening | South Church

With the lack of snow lately in New Hampshire, and the south being walloped – I must say that it was actually nice to get a snowstorm today. Now that we’ve had another storm, I’m that much more ready for spring – but after getting out of work, I had to go for a walk around town. At this point, the snow was falling so hard that I was afraid I was going to ruin my camera and couldn’t keep the lens dry enough for long enough to go for a serious walk. I snapped the above shot of the South Church, and enjoyed a quick stroll up Congress Street ducking in and out of awnings in front of stores. More shots to follow from tonight in the near future.
