I’ve wanted to visit Liberty State Park in New Jersey,

ever since I saw photos of the 9/11 Memorial.

It did not disappoint.

I figured that if I was going to visit,

I might as well do it during the spring so that I could enjoy the flowering trees.

So, when the park reported that their cherry trees were peaking on Instagram,

I hustled over - only to discover that it was fake news.

There were a few Okame trees in bloom,

but the Kazan’s which I had hoped to catch, weren’t ready for prime time yet.

C’est la vie.

Here are some other blogs from spring in New York.

Happy sneezing!
