  Sunday Morning on CBS is one of my favorite programs. They always have a series 

                  of  interesting stories from around the US, people to see and places to go!

                        I hope to pass on a little of the same........

                                                                   NEW HAMPSHIRE SUNDAY MORNING

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Exploring this wonderful State of New Hampshire is something my husband and I never tire of! There are so many diverse attractions and ever-changing landscapes...the possibilities are endless!

This Weekend we went to an Outdoor Sculpture Gallery known as the Mill Brook Gallery & Sculpture Garden. This gallery is at 236 Hopkington Road in Concord, NH (Merrimack County) only about 20 minutes-10 as the crow flies-from my home! This is one of those places I've been meaning to see since I moved here 23 years ago...and just never went. Sort of like a New Yorker who never gets to the Empire State Building! Well...it was so interesting and so peaceful...I expect to visit many more times!

The Gallery exhibits Paintings and Sculpture by many artisits. They feature rotating exhibits.You may purchase any of the work that is on exhibit, and believe me there is something for all tastes! My pictures will feature the outdoor wonders because I found them to be completely disarming!

  Every where you look on the wonderfully peaceful grounds there was a "surprise"  There was a small pond that even had a sculpture of it's own called .....                      Grounds

 

City Island

CITY ISLAND by

Madeline Lord and Andrew Uthoff

 

               There is even a peaceful place to contemplate your surroundings!Bench

 

 

 

 

 

This was a very charming and relaxing place and a return visit is definately on the agenda.... I will let your final vision be that of  Refuse REFUSE (or REfuse??) by Morris Norvin

What a great tour Joan.  I almost felt that I was there on a tour.  Great photos.  I love conemporary sculpture.  I love Sunday morning a.m. TV too.  But, alas, I'm addicted to the talking heads spewing political dribble.

Joan,  What a beautiful place to visit !  I loved the photos you took.  The face made out of cement is truly intriguing and I loved that little city island in the pond.  Thank you for the tour.

The last picture is my favourite piece. Imagine such a beautiful work of art made with castoffs.

Once again -- I feel like I got to take some time off and tour New Hampshire.  What a great tour.  I had to work all day -- and now I am able to experience a little bit of this adventure.  I am going to have to put this on the list of things to do.

Joan - It's on the calendar!  LOL  I have an old friend in Boston who is turning 90 on June 17th and I have promised her I will be there.  Only thing that will stop me is 2 broken legs and $4 gallon gas.  LOL  And not too sure about the gas - might fly if that's the case.
