A quick stop at Hampton Beach, NH, just days before Memorial Day, which marks the start of the summer season.  These cottages are queued and ready.<br />

Thanks for all the comments on yesterday's "trees" image.  That shot was almost SOOC (just some slight color tone warm up).  I shot it at f22, 1/5 second, and panned up during the exposure.  Sorry that some had trouble with the link to the alt view, for others it seemed to work ok (!)

Edit: Thanks to Chuck B for his observation that these are more likely Carp than catfish.   Thanks Chuck! <br />

I stopped by Lake Quannapowitt yesterday for some quick shots before work, and noticed a commotion in the water, right along the shore.  What I found there were several pairs of Brown Bullhead catfish, averaging about 16-18" in length, cavorting and otherwise raising a ruckus.  These gigantic fish were fascinating to watch.  <br />
<br />
All around the lake's shore, there were countless more amorous twosomes.  According to some locals who were walking by, 'tis the season for love.<br />
<br />
I took many images, some of which can be seen here:  <a href="http://bit.ly/btPpxf">http://bit.ly/btPpxf</a>

    I really like images that show lots of detail we usually don't take time to look at.
    You did a great job with this one.

    ahhhh.. very nicely done, ed. that "more" damaged one makes the shot all the more interesting!
