Hardy Laurel

Who'd think, a mere thirty miles from my house, you'd find such amazing plants?



Every summer, for years, my wife has talked about going to see the mountain laurel. My response was less than enthusiastic, since I always figured it would be a long trip to some isolated part of PA, and there were plenty of other flowers around here to look at. Nope. It turned out they were ridiculously close -- in Mt. Pocono State Park -- and amazingly beautiful. I'm glad we finally went.




There's a lesson in here, but I'm sure I'll have forgotten it by next year.
