I attended a workshop at Squam many years ago and some of my fondest memories are of times spent down at the docks. Early morning swims, gathering together to share stories and songs as the light faded from the day, hearing loons for the first time, discovering parts of myself that had been neglected for years. Thank you for transporting me back there for a moment. x

I've never heard loon calls that constant! The first time I ever saw the Northern Lights was at Squam, at a retreat 'cabin' Dartmouth had up there (they've since sold it--idiots). Such a gorgeous area. I hope to get to a SquamArts retreat someday....

Love the sound of the loons! Sigh, I was supposed to be at Squam in June. Stupid COVID.

It wouldn't be a successful trip to the lake without seeing a loon dive under the water or hearing their calls.

How nice and relaxing-I've been painting and am just now coming up for air.

Oh that was delightful! I’ve never heard birds like that before. My cat wasn’t sure what to think so she head-booped my phone. Your photo is gorgeous!!

What a lovely call. I like to sit on the back porch at night and listen to the to the barred owls.

I know Squam Lake actually littl Squam becasue I went to summer camp (Camp Winnetaska) in Holderness for many years as a child. I have fond memories of those summers.

Another beautiful, serene lake that I visited in my childhood. I remember the loons from there and from Rangeley Lake. Such a lovely, mournful sound.

I have never been anywhere to hear loons in person. How tranquil. My new white noise to sleep. 🥰
