NH MOOSE - 2011
Photo taken by a local NH resident

A once in a lifetime shot....this mama moose cools her babies in a private swimming pool!

FACTS:

The origin of the word "MOOSE" is thought of to be from "mus" or "Moos" of the Alonquian (North American Indian) family of languages thought to mean "easter of twigs"

Moose are BIG. An adult moose averages around 1,000 pounds and stands 6 feet at the shoulder and 8-10 feet long. It is the largest land animal in NH. We see moose daily, weekly and monthly at our Bretton Woods office and surrounding areas. They like to live solitary or in small groups and enjoy wetland areas where they can feed and enjoy the woodland surround. They are great swimmers and can remain underwater for about a minute. Their diet consists of local vegetation such as leaves, branches and twigs, water and marsh plants. In a normal day, a moose will consume an average of 45 lbs of food. Compare that to your diet! They get their exercise by trotting along at a speed as fast as 35 miles per hour. That's FAST!

We hope you have the please of seeing one from a distance during your NH stay ....don't get too close!

Littleton Piano Project

Main Street - Littleton, NH
Summer 2011

For the Summer of 2011, pianos are being placed along the Main Street sidewalks for visitors and the people of Littleton to be able to play and enjoy. The donated pianos are being painted by local artists. The theme for the Project is "Be Glad...Make Music!".
The pianos will be available for public use between 10 AM and 9PM daily, barring rainy weather. The "Be Glad...Make Music!" piano was inspired by the artwork of Luke Jerram from London, England who has commissioned public use pianos titled "Play Me, I'm Yours" in over 20 cities worldwide.
The "Be Glad...Make Music!" theme celebrates the positive energy of the world famous "Pollyanna" authored in 1913 by Littleton resident, Eleanor H. Porter. This initiative was developed as a result of the May work of the Littleton Area Community Planning Project. Come to Littleton, Be Glad and Enjoy the Music!
