Spring is a beautiful experience in the countryside.  Flowers pop up everywhere in showy displays of painted splendor.  The Phlox carpet was so beautiful....no so every year.  Beautiful phlox color sprawled along a stretch of 62nd Street....so noticeable...so pretty. Children growing up in the country, are privileged to partake of the awesome springtime beauty of blossoming orchards. For those who have never been in an orchard during blossomtime, this is your chance to experience another breathtaking array of God's springtime blessing.

Magnificent original photos are from
The Hartford Series by Emma Thornburg Sefcik now available in 18" x 24", ready for framing.
