My daughter, Julia, and I had a wonderful time in New Hampshire with my friend, Holly, and her pup, Zoe.



Zoe leads the way!



The lake's loon pair had one baby this year. He's already turned from black to brown. We watched him fishing on his own with an adult keeping a good watch from a distance.



Loons have a gland on their back that gives off waterproofing. So the baby is waterproofing his head feathers by tipping his head way back onto that gland.



Into the weeds!
