On the Hyacinth Trail

Uploaded: April 12, 2010 05:20:36

Description

The flowers are starting to bloom in Fellows Riverside Gardens at Mill Creek Park now. The tulip beds are bordered by colorful, fragrant hyacinths. The Victorian Gazebo in the distance is a popular place for weddings, and if you notice a dot of red inside, it's my husband Jack doing his photography thing! Have a great week, everyone!
