A C-5 was doing some low fly by’s and touch and go’s at Pease today. I went down at lunch time and shot some video of it from both ends of the airport.

We were out enjoying the memorial day sun today and got watching a robin collecting food for her nesting chicks. She was going back and forth between our lawn and her nest under our deck with plenty of treats for her little chicks. I shot some video of the robin on our lower deck and then used a ladder to get a little closer to the nest.

The American Robin is not as cute as it’s European counterpart and is actually a member of the thrush family. The two types of robin are not closely related.

In Honour of Memorial Day, the “Friends of Pulpit Rock Tower” and “The NH Fish and Game Dept.” opened up the WW2 Pulpit Rock Tower in Rye, NH. The tower was built during WW2 to help defend the New Hampshire coastline and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

The tower was opened once last year but had been cleaned and restored to open today for Memorial Day. The tower may be opened again this year for July 4th.

The tower was 7 stories and provided some good views of the NH coastline looking south.
