New Hampshire: Not much politics, mostly nature

[urbpan]

We wrote some stuff on the car with soap, and then drove around New Hampshire yesterday.
We've both donated money, but haven't done anything material for the campaign, and are feeling anxious, like we can't sit around and let the election just happen.  What will driving around the nearest swing state in a car covered with slogans accomplish?  No idea, but it made us feel a little better.


After meandering around for some time, we decided to get out and walk in Portsmouth.  It was such a beautiful day: almost 70 degrees!


There's no place on Earth like a graveyard in New England in October.






Yellow lichens are very rare these days in Boston, but up in the relatively clean salt air of coastal New Hampshire, we found some nice patches of it.


I wonder is this is the meat-resembling mushroom that nevers  was asking me about...


An oriental bittersweet vine extends its fruit-laden tendrils high to where birds can safely feed on them.


Charlie had to closely investigate this car's decoration. 


Home again home again.
