Thank you Lilia. And I couldn't agree more about the beauty of our country, we are very lucky to have such a wonderful parks system to keep these wonders safe for everyone to enjoy.
I hadn't seen it either, it's at a little public garden in Kansas City, they have a lot of unusual varieties you don't typically see in this area. Thanks for your kind words.
Thanks! I really like your shot of the boat by this bridge. I didn't get any closer than this either. We were going to go back the next day and cross the bridge but we ran out of time (36 hours in NY is not long enough). Next time. Not sure when I'll get back to NY but I will let you know and we can go see the bridge together. :)
