Maine Tattoo- scar cover ups/fixes

0 Upvotes

Hey! looking for anyone who might do tattoos that cover up sh scars, or incorporate them. I am on a limited budget due to disabilities effecting my income, so looking for something around $200 (plus could promote on my socials which would realistically be at the worth of $20, so I don’t expect that to count towards anything, payment expected $200 plus 20% tip). I would be happy to film or do promotional scenes for a slight discount.
basically just looking for someone to help cover up the mistakes of my teenage years, most are on my right thigh, I also have a split in a tattoo from where where was an incision made after the tattoo healed, and if that could be fixed on top of the cover ups for a fee that would be wonderful! or as a separate tattoo… whatever, just looking for suggestions

This classic spot is under threat- we are raising funds to save!

If you've ever photographed the Little White Church, Crystal Lake, or the view of Lyman Mountain in Eaton, I'd love to see your photos.

For many of us, this is one of the most iconic and recognizable landscapes in New Hampshire. Whether you visited during peak foliage, on a snowy morning, or just happened to stop while driving through, chances are you have a favorite picture.

Today, our community has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect that view. The landowners have agreed to sell the 116-acre property instead of moving forward with a proposed logging project—but only if we can raise $500,000 within the next 30 days.

I'm a board member of the Eaton Village Preservation Society, and we're working to preserve this landscape for future generations. This isn't about being anti-logging. Forestry has always been an important part of New Hampshire. This effort is about protecting one uniquely significant landscape that has been treasured by residents, photographers, and visitors for generations.

Show us your favorite Little White Church, Crystal Lake, or Lyman Mountain photo in the comments! I'd love to see how many people have been inspired by this special place over the years.

We're taking a fall foliage trip and I have a few questions

0 Upvotes

Hi All,

My GF and I are taking a trip to the east coast/New England in Oct. to see the fall colors. I know the colors start earlier up north but I'm hoping this route would give us peak colors.

We'll be driving up from New York starting Oct. 12 and heading to DanBury CT to see relatives, then into RI, Mass (Stay in Boston for a couple of days possibly. We love Boston as a city. The heading into NH, Maine, Vermont, then across Upstate NY to end at Niagra Falls and fly home to San Antonio on 10/22.

So my 1st question, is does this route make sense to maximize our chance to see colors?

If not what would be a better route?

What will teh temps be? I know we'll need a jacket, but how cold will it be on avg?

Last but not least is this one.

I know that time is peak season for viewing the autum leaves and I expect hotels to be full/raise rates. Would it be better to book hotels now, or wing it and try to find something along the route? We are very flexible on travel after CT. We can skip Boston if need be, and better utilize our time elesewhere.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
