roses & dahlias
Yesterday afternoon I headed to the New Hampshire coast to visit Fuller Gardens.
It is primarily a rose garden, with dahlias living in a display garden next to the greenhouse. It was the dahlias that drew most of my attention.![a rose at Fuller Gardens a rose at Fuller Gardens](https://photos.smugmug.com/GardensFlowersThings/Fuller-Gardens-2024/i-N2DmTPC/0/LvWkKqSR6m5hnFffLtX3cqdfLwVGfvPN8NDRr5Dtb/550x550/202407_XT4_6551-L.jpg)

Yesterday I headed west for a bit to visit Three Sisters Sanctuary in Goshen, MA. It was delightful to wander through the gardens, to visit sculptures, flowers, and a bit of road art.

As summer bathes us in warmth, gardens beckon.
Coneflowers decorate the gardens of Prescott Park (in Portsmouth, NH) with bright splashes of color.

I woke up yesterday and checked the state of the roads for holiday traffic heading to the coast. Luckily the early morning traffic was light; it looked like clear sailing!
My destination was Odiorne Point State Park in Rye, NH. I arrived early enough that it felt like I almost had the place to myself. My walk along the rocky coastline was awesome, a good way to spend a cloudy (then clearing) sky morning.

What a special flower!
While strawflowers look like they have been dried, this is their natural form. The flower emerges wearing stiff and papery petals.

Sometimes butterflies light on a flower, staying still, posing.
Sometimes butterflies are in a state of constant motion.
