late blooming poppy

This late blooming beauty posed for me while I walked through its garden last week.

dog on premises

I loved this sign posted outside a store in Portsmouth, NH.

I didn't enter to see if the resident dog matched the sign.

on the street

As I walked in Portsmouth yesterday this fabric painting of a lone boat and its reflection caught my eye.

gardens of Portsmouth

It was a perfect morning for seeking the color and beauty of flowers.

I headed to Portsmouth, NH to visit the gardens of Prescott Park. I left my car at a lot on Market Street just off of I-95 and walked to the center of town, stopping to visit with flowers on the way. The first flowers to greet me were sunflowers.

I kept walking, with a destination of Prescott Park. The gardens there are amazing!

Echinacea (in many colors) were planted in several areas.
