Set 2 of My
All Time Favorite Photographs
Bob Jensen at
Trinity University
Among the thousands of photographs that I've taken over the years I have some
all time favorites.
This is Set 2 of my all time favorites. They're not in rank order.
Erika standing on our lift (elevator)
This was the circular stairs we replaced with an elevator
I don't know how I previously got through life without a home
elevator and a bucket loader on my tractor
Daughter Lisl, Bob, and Erika
Guess which one made the most trips to the punch bowl?
Lisl's son CJ awing over his grandfather's bookkeeping trophies (Yeah right)
Wild turkeys looking inside at the bookkeeper at work
Moon over Vermont as seen from our back bedroom
Here are some pictures with the camera aimed toward the White Mountains in the east
Hawk watchers sit in our front yard for moments like this
Clouds over Franconia Notch (about 10 miles distant)
Clouds over Franconia Notch (camera zoomed)
This is part of the Omega Hiking trail on nearby Cannon Mountain
You won't catch me climbing that
Rare sighting of a Fisher Cat
Their occasional unnerving screams in our woods sound just like a woman
screaming in terror
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishercat
Not-so-rare sighting of bear cubs in a dumpster
in May 2007 a hungry bear this size wiped out three birdfeeders on our back deck
Turns out that bird seed is just about their favorite food apart from honey and
acorns
Purportedly they're more likely to wander out from the woods following a bad
acorn year
The highest peak is Mt. Washington
Marshall and I took this historic Cog Railroad trip up to the top of Mt.
Washington in 2012
The engine pushes the car upward on the cog rail between the two outer rails
Pictures of our ride up are available at

Out neighbor's white Arab mare
Colorful Ore Hill as seen from my desk
At one time iron ore was taken from this hill and hauled on mules to make fine
Franconia Stoves

Springtime on the back of our cottage
My son Marshall took this picture of a hummingbird by our side door
They are so tiny and so quick
We had a nest of them in 2012 in the nearby lilac bush
View from our yard south toward our wildflower field
This is the golf course as viewed toward our wildflower field and woods
Some ducks on the golf course
This is a small chapel about a half mile down the road
The chapel is only open for two months in the summer season
Erika has dolls all over the house
We purchased the sheepskins years ago when I lectured in New Zealand
Happy New Year
The two historic pictures below were forwarded to me by former B29 pilot and
good friend Col. Booth
German
Wehrmacht General Anton Dostler is tied to a stake before his execution by a
firing squad in a stockade in Aversa, Italy, on December 1, 1945. The General,
Commander of the 75th Army Corps, was sentenced to death by an United States
Military Commission in Rome for having ordered the shooting of 15 unarmed
American prisoners of war, in La Spezia, Italy, on March 26, 1944. (AP Photo)
These days he would probably be confined to Gitmo for 20 years
Many of Germany's captured new and experimental aircraft were displayed in an
exhibition as part of London's Thanksgiving week on September 14, 1945. Among
the aircraft are a number of jet and rocket propelled planes. Here, a side view
of the Heinkel He-162 "Volksjaeger", propelled by a turbo-jet unit mounted above
the fuselage, in Hyde park, in London. (AP Photo)

On May 14,
2006 I retired from
Trinity University after a long and
wonderful career as an accounting professor in four universities. I was
generously granted "Emeritus" status by the Trustees of Trinity University. My
wife and I now live in a cottage in the White Mountains of New Hampshire ---
