A German hashtag phenomenon I ran across on Mastodon and Bluesky recently is #FotoVorschlag (photo suggestion). The idea is to post one’s own photo based on the day’s keyword from @[email protected] or @fotovorschlag.bsky.social. Today’s was “Bach,” which is not only the name of a composer but also German for “brook” or “stream.” I took the first photo here near Diana’s Baths in North Conway and Bartlett, NH, on May 22, 2023. It shows a trail that had been turned into a stream by the rains, which cleared the earth, leaves, and pine needles from the granite.

Granite path through the woods, parts of the granite still wet, and some water visible in bottom right. The focus is on the granite, bounded by hints of tree trunks, underbrush, and moss.
Bottom part of a tree next to a dirt path. The base is covered in moss, as many are, and it shows the handiwork of beavers, who chewed maybe a quarter way through before they moved on to other projects.
I took the second photo this afternoon near Pudding Pond in North Conway. The marshy areas near this spot are apparently beaver stomping grounds, as you can see from all the gnawing they did on this tree.
