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)

photos! Three Sisters Sanctuary
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.
Click here to jump to the gallery Three Sisters Sanctuary :: 2024 to see the photos that jumped into my camera as I wandered.![sculpture at Three Sisters Sanctuary sculpture at Three Sisters Sanctuary](https://photos.smugmug.com/GardensFlowersThings/Three-Sisters-Sanctuary-2024/i-5m43vvz/0/M8k345F8Cq9mzkLcjLn5xB9fNzDHgZjrLXCQDZcJ6/M/202407_XT4_6281-M.jpg)

coneflower season
As summer bathes us in warmth, gardens beckon.
Coneflowers decorate the gardens of Prescott Park (in Portsmouth, NH) with bright splashes of color.![coneflowers coneflowers](https://photos.smugmug.com/GardensFlowersThings/Gardens-of-Portsmouth-2024/i-WrBMpvh/0/K5C6FRrhv235dvnwBtNg7k8488Nj4CbGBD3qPWFqQ/550x550/202407_XT4_6163-L.jpg)

a dahlia in pink
Dahlias are starting to emerge in the gardens of Maudslay State Park.
This beauty opened with a splash of pink.![dahlia dahlia](https://photos.smugmug.com/Outdoor-beauty/Wandering-Maudslay-2024/i-RgngGDr/0/Lh5Cwngfxp3G82ZNfLNMZ3D9HPRsgLjdNmzCSmDhW/550x550/202407_XT4_6079-L.jpg)

summer on the coast
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.![at Odiorne Point State Park at Odiorne Point State Park](https://photos.smugmug.com/Coastal-glimpses/New-Hampshire-coast-2024/i-nvK5366/0/KbHDFLNfWV37LW233MznLqHvD65XK2vHLtmDgd2Bx/M/202407_XT4_6018-M.jpg)

a strawflower
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.![strawflower strawflower](https://photos.smugmug.com/Wandering-near-home/Summer-2024/i-rHmNzJ2/0/KQGgWtD67k3Bm9F4BkdJ7kPCSBFLMmH87DPPtVrj7/M/202407_XT4_5929-M.jpg)

butterfly in motion
Sometimes butterflies light on a flower, staying still, posing.
Sometimes butterflies are in a state of constant motion.![a butterfly in motion a butterfly in motion](https://photos.smugmug.com/GardensFlowersThings/Flitter-flutter-butterfly-2024/i-vs27gDg/0/LfpCKVh3wDN9NprHXCpn27Q2gm9DrFd5nbDRKM8wF/M/202406_XT4_5768-M.jpg)
