| Sun shining through the glass, Nathan. |
Started the day writing in my blog and uploading photos from the camera - I have drafts for 3 travel days on-line ready to add photos and publish, but will have to finish the blog after we return get home. The Microsoft Media program works OK to get photos ready for the WWW, but I prefer Photoshop.
Today we plan to visit the White Mountain Artisans Gallery in North Conway, which shows Nathan’s glasswork. The gallery has a large selection of Nate's work from drinking glasses to hanging globes to large plates and multi-colored rondels. I was impressed by the way the sun picks up the colors in the glass as in the photo on the left.

| Spider, Spider, On the Wall. |
The gallery also has work by many other NH craftspeople and artisans. There are photographers who are showing some particularly good shots of the mountains in the Presidential Range. We found some small textile baskets that were light-weight and cleverly done that particularly interested us. Downstairs there is a selection of handmade furniture. Quite an impressive gallery. Outside the gallery, there is mounted on the wall a large black glass and metal spider, Nathan’s creation.
We found a deli serving organic food in the same building as the gallery so we had lunch before returning to the farm. Traffic through N. Conway was a mess as usual for the summer, but the by-pass road helps.
In the evening we had fresh boiled Maine Lobster and salad; after dinner we marched over to the farm to sample Stephanie’s desert. We have been eating well on this trip.
