The Water Loom Dragon

Image
 A Fire-Breathing Dragon I guess it was inevitable that Bill Tobin would come up with something special for the 1987 Regatta on Water Loom Pond. He was a builder with a creative mind. He wasn't going to settle with just a Loch Ness replica, this was a fully operational FIRE BREATHING Loch Ness replica. The Seal Of New Hampshire Years later, Bill would create his masterpiece. A larger than life three dimensional replica of Seal of New Hampshire. It made many appearances over the years such as this on in the Amherst, NH 2011 Fourth of July parade. I never did learn what became of the dragon. Perhaps some misty morning I might spot it at Water Loom belching fire.

Drained Smithville Reservoir

Image
I've been taking a morning walk with my friends John and Angelika Weber and their son Parker by the Smithville Reservoir for over 10 years. We've seen it flood and we've seen it drained.

The flood control dams were constructed in the 1960s as a response to occurrences of repetitive flooding. The worst flooding occurred in 1936 and the hurricane of 1938.

Five Years Ago - 4th of July Pool Party

Image
"Summertime, and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin' So hush little baby, Don't you cry..." I created this blog as a narrative of moments in time over the years in pictures. This is only possible because digital photo files have accurate time stamps. Because of this I can confirm that Kathy was sipping a beer on her deck at 3:08:47 PM on July 2nd in 2011 when they hosted a Independence Day party. I named this blog Only a Picture Stops Time because it is a collection of stopped moments in time.
