I stopped to walk, capturing beauty with a photo whenever something caught my eye. <p/><i>...wild roses, rose hips, and green leaves, a rocky coastline, blue ocean and sky...</i> <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Coastal-glimpses/New-Hampshire-coast-2026/i-73tdtQb/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Coastal-glimpses/New-Hampshire-coast-2026/i-73tdtQb/0/MhSTHbCxLmdPgrTsPvH4qVvRBNjXf8wmvpqb5C2QX/M/202608_XT5_2497-M.jpg" alt="along the NH coast, wild roses, rose hips, ocean, rocks, sky" title="along the NH coast, wild roses, rose hips, ocean, rocks, sky"></a></center>Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15440744.post-15551695467044781482026-08-11T08:00:00.000-04:002026-08-11T08:00:00.116-04:00Wandering among roses and dahlias was a perfect way to spend time in Fuller Gardens during my visit last Saturday morning. While the garden is primarily filled with roses my gallery shows more dahlias than roses. That clearly shows my bias. <p/>Photos can be seen in the gallery <a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/GardensFlowersThings/Fuller-Gardens-2026">Fuller Gardens :: 2026</a>. <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/GardensFlowersThings/Fuller-Gardens-2026/i-3zRgwHv/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/GardensFlowersThings/Fuller-Gardens-2026/i-3zRgwHv/0/LWtLXSm9ddtrLvT3bZHJtH4vqDLpHztNrRrGs3x8d/550x550/202608_XT5_2420-L.jpg" alt="Shiloh Noelle dahlia" title="Shiloh Noelle dahlia"></a></center> <p/><p/>Click <a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/GardensFlowersThings/Fuller-Gardens-2026">here</a> to jump to the gallery.Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15440744.post-13101874761844586762026-08-08T16:29:31.253-04:002026-08-08T16:29:31.253-04:00I visited <a href="https://fullergardens.org/">Fuller Gardens</a> in North Hampton, NH today. <p/>My timing was good; both roses and dahlias are in bloom and showing wonderful color. <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Fragments/Quick-glimpses/i-z5GjGff/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Fragments/Quick-glimpses/i-z5GjGff/0/L3Zff5cZStGj7D6BHtWhPZC3VpLWPPmZ5cwpRPWxx/M/202608_XT5_2231-M.jpg" alt="a pink rose, opening" title="a pink rose, opening"></a> <p/><p/><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Fragments/Quick-glimpses/i-grzWgQt/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Fragments/Quick-glimpses/i-grzWgQt/0/KMnvj5WkNMhp6p9G9WRqH7GhkzJCvTPR5KDBxgpd9/550x550/202608_XT5_2407-L.jpg" alt="a dahlia with bright orange petals" title="a dahlia with bright orange petals"></a> </center>Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15440744.post-63125874517451092332026-08-01T16:59:24.532-04:002026-08-01T16:59:24.532-04:00This year's garden in Prescott Park (in Portsmouth, NH) includes a bed of gladiolus. <p/>I'm fascinated by the colors and shape of these beautiful flowers. <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/GardensFlowersThings/Gardens-of-Portsmouth-2026/i-hW6svvs/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/GardensFlowersThings/Gardens-of-Portsmouth-2026/i-hW6svvs/0/LBCc3NKvN7K5sCqk7LMCMk7pKVsfdDtWHGBBv2Twc/550x550/202608_XT5_2130-L.jpg" alt="gladiolus" title="gladiolus"></a></center>Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15440744.post-42253310017739374462026-07-27T07:15:04.051-04:002026-07-27T07:15:04.051-04:00Saturday morning gave me the opportunity for a wonderful coastal wander. I headed to Halibut Point State Park in Rockport, MA for a walk around Babson Farm Quarry and some careful stepping on the granite at the ocean's edge. <p/>The park is just under 25 miles from home as the crow flies; it's 14 miles further when forced to use the roads. Accessing the beauty of Halibut Point is worth the drive. <center><a href="https://www.denisegoldberg.com/Coastal-glimpses/Halibut-Point-2026/i-sb69dZ8/A"><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Coastal-glimpses/Halibut-Point-2026/i-sb69dZ8/0/LWBqN6kpD6DHPF5MV29rJNLRskDtJ8bDvSSWMwCs6/M/202607_XT5_1927-M.jpg" alt="rocky coastline at Halibut Point State Park" title="rocky coastline at Halibut Point State Park"></a></center>Denise Goldberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08049223586218975704noreply@blogger.com
