April Blooms - Part 2 and MORE

In our last post we shared some April blooms around the neighborhood and have few more to share today. Photos were taken on walks last Saturday and/or Sunday. Beyond that, be sure to see the Maritime Update.

Did we need to tell you John loves all kinds of ships?  All photos within the last week ...

Brand new tug ... interesting design.
Possibly on sea trials?

    Yes, John, I knew you love all kinds of boats, and anything to do with Yellowstone, too. Thanks for the cool pictures. :-)

    I'll say the tug has a different design. Blooms seem to be at a peak. Very colorful.
