It is a life-sized lion created in steel and stainless steel by Xavier Murcoch. The lion's name is Judah. <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-vNWJQ7P/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Fragments/Photos-by-phone/i-vNWJQ7P/0/LJBp9hKZ554q4sdVqcQdSLWrKkk874vFbT2HVqHdW/550x550/20261014_130202-L.jpg" alt="Judah, by Xavier Murcoch, a life-sized sculpture of a lion" title="Judah, by Xavier Murcoch, a life-sized sculpture of a lion"></a></center> <p/><p/>Isn't he beautiful?Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15440744.post-13585741519877953302026-10-12T15:26:25.783-04:002026-10-12T15:26:25.783-04:00Bright color pops, created by a few deciduous trees in a sea of evergreens... <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Wandering-near-home/Autumn-2026/i-nRctJ82/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Wandering-near-home/Autumn-2026/i-nRctJ82/0/MztDVm8cW8jJPFrDnMTWt2JNcfLsKz5wJtkzc9MKT/550x550/202610_XT5_4462-L.jpg" alt="autumn color, on Field Pond" title="autumn color, on Field Pond"></a></center>Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15440744.post-63511998971213152442026-10-10T16:20:56.514-04:002026-10-10T16:20:56.514-04:00Coastal grass in Odiorne Point State Park wears a shade of deep yellow-orange as the air cools and the season edges further into autumn. <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Coastal-glimpses/New-Hampshire-coast-2026/i-9frZFDf/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Coastal-glimpses/New-Hampshire-coast-2026/i-9frZFDf/0/LFqnJFVCfVfHdQ6hZ3LHKJRvqc92XHXkdSn6586b8/550x550/202610_XT5_4426-L.jpg" alt="coastal grass in deep yellow against a blue sky, in Odiorne Point State Park, Rye, NH" title="coastal grass in deep yellow against a blue sky, in Odiorne Point State Park, Rye, NH"></a></center> Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15440744.post-63303709740515040322026-10-04T14:09:44.608-04:002026-10-04T14:09:44.608-04:00Yesterday was a good day for a walk along the New Hampshire coast.
