Rye Harbor, New Hampshire

Many words come to mind to describe New Hampshire's Rye Harbor, but sweet seems the best adjective. Postcard perfect, quiet and with a state park that offers spectacular views of the dramatic rugged coastline. And, of course, the coastline continues as you travel northward on the 1A (Ocean Blvd) where pullovers for taking in the views are numerous.

I ended up on another day going back to Rye Harbor on the day before a storm was approaching. Watching the fog make its way from the water inland was fascinating and made for some great pictures.

It will probably go down as one of my favorite places on this two-month trip up the Atlantic Coast.

I'm pretty sure that just about every beach or lighthouse shoreline that I've visited on this trip has had cairns built upon the rocks. They must bring as much joy to others as they do to me.

On my return trip to Rye a few days later, the weather could not have been better. Beautiful sun, nice temps and clear skies. Within the hour, however, the fog started rolling in quickly.

I've seen plenty of two of my favorite things on this trip: buoys and cairns. They make me smile every time I see them. Can't get enough of 'em!!! And Petey's restaurant, in Rye on the 1A is loaded with buoys.
