Love the colors.
Thank you. We were in you city many years ago. Seem to recall it being famous for something, is it the Pretzel?

Thanks for the info. I do remember the chocolate also, but did not recall it being there. The whole town "smelled" of chocolate and I am a chocoholic.
Is it still being made there? Do not recall seeing it around now. We were sorta dissapointed in the Hershey tour.

Dogwood already? Are these from this year?
This is a strange year, as you are probably aware. the dogwood photos are from last year, but this one I just did right after rain. Sorry it is not too sharp but the dogwoods are BUSTIN out, the crabs, Kwansan cherry and a whole host of other spring color.
Will start looking for a "stoneblossom".
Thanks for posting.

Nice Tree
Love Dogwoods. Pink and reds a bit difficult to grow sometimes. They become victims of borers. We lost a couple early on and then my wife read to put chunks Fels Naptha soap in the crotch where the limbs join trunk down low and let the rain take the soap down the trunk, supposedly to prevent the borers. We did it and have had success, a pink a red and a white large mature ones.
