The ocean called to me today; I needed a walk by the water.
I headed to the New Hampshire coast early this morning, stopping and parking at Odiorne Point State Park in Rye, NH. I walked just south of the park, then did a loop in the park. It was a good brain reset!
Photos from yesterday's visit to the Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory are in the gallery flitter, flutter, butterfly! 2025.
I needed a change of scenery today so I headed west across the state to visit the Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory.
Standing, watching, feeling butterflies land on me and fly past me... it was pure magic!
As I walked through a garden at Maudslay State Park this afternoon a patch of flowers caught my eye. The bright purple color of the blazing star flower attracted both butterflies & bees.
I always thought flowers wearing the name black eyed susan had a black center. Funny, this flower with a light colored center identifies as the Prairie Sun version of the black eyed susan.
It's a beautiful flower.
From a walk in Harold Parker State Forest this afternoon, a rippled reflection...
While there are still poppies in bloom, most are close to end of life.
This one, wearing pink, has started dropping petals.
