Spring in Salem

Today was so beautiful we decided to walk to the library instead of driving. Dusty was the photographer du jour.


Isn't this an odd-looking plant/tree? I have no idea what it is but I think the pod people left it behind.


One of the many paths through the neighborhood park.


See that little tiny person in the lower right-hand corner? That's me, Kate. Who says I'm not photogenic!


Dusty looked for orange azaleas for 20 years in the Carolinas and never could find any. In Salem they are everywhere.


A big pink tree! I'm such a botanist.
