Year 2020 in Review:  Set 02

Bob Jensen at Trinity University 

This is Part 2 of my 2020 year in review. Most of the pictures were taken before we had snow on the ground.

One of our 2020 memories are is the family of foxes that lived under our studio for a time.
This is one of the four very shy yet playful "puppy" foxes

 

This is our studio beneath which the four baby foxes were born

 

This is a shot of Mt Lafayette and Mt Lincoln with sunrise edging
Pardon the reflection of my camera in our front window
I did not retouch this photograph that almost looks like a California wildfire

 

This is an early summer view from the pond garden on the south side of our cottage.
I always plant a lot of annuals called New Guinea Impatiens because they bloom all summer until the first heavy frost

 

The stone edging around our flower beds, like the shown one of above, were laid by our landscaper Dorothy
Dorothy is also avid (I mean really avid) mountain climber who has climbed all of our major New England mountains from all four sides

This is Dorothy on a climb up Mt. Adams in the Presidential Range

 

 

 

 

Dorothy sent this picture from Black Mountain

 

One of Dorothy's specialties is building New Hampshire rock walls

 

 

One of our fond memories was when Erika's two sisters from Wisconsin and her brother from Utah arrived in an enormous motor home
Along with their spouses, a mother-in-law and four dogs
I rented them a house down the road for the five delightful days of their visit
This is Erika's sister Franny and her brother-in-law nicknamed Butch
Years ago for a short while Butch was on the PGA tour

 

Animals and birds don't much like the wild cranberries in front of our cottage
But in the winter they eat up the berries when they get hungry enough

 

St. Matthews Chapel is a summer chapel about a half mile from our cottage
The Chapel was closed in 2020 due to Covid-19
One of our memories from 2020 was the move of this Chapel north and south to give it new footings
Moving it 30 feet and back cost almost as much as if it was moved a mile

An artist came by last summer and asked if he could paint an old maple tree in our wildflower field
It's amazing to me how this old tree lives on winter after winter

 

 

Another huge maple tree closer to our cottage lost two huge limbs in two separate storms
The tree itself still towers above all our other trees, but I fear its days are numbered

 

 

 

This is our largest forsythia bush in 2020 springtime bloom

 

This is the same forsythia bush in winter

 

One early morning I took this picture of a bull about a mile down Birches Road near our cottage

 

And here's a winter shot of Mt Washington taken from my desk

On May 14, 2006 I retired from Trinity University after a long and wonderful career as an accounting professor in four universities. I was generously granted "Emeritus" status by the Trustees of Trinity University. My wife and I now live in a cottage in the White Mountains of New Hampshire ---
