chasing butterflies

After yesterday's Fuller Gardens visit I drove north and east along the coast, thinking that I'd stop somewhere and walk along the water. I didn't stop until I reached Portsmouth; as it turned out I was quite happy with my choice.

I left my car on Peirce Island and walked back across the bridge to Prescott Park. The garden in the park was in full bloom, highlighting many types of flowers in a rainbow of colors. Even better were the butterflies flitting, lighting on flowers, showing their highly decorated wings.

More photos of butterflies and flowers in Prescott Park, Portsmouth, NH (along with a couple of ocean shots) can be found in the gallery New Hampshire coast - 2012 starting with this photo and ending here.
