Here is a close up picture of the Fothergilla in the park.  It looks like a bottle brush to me.  We love seeing this bush in bloom, and of course have to get up close and smell its soft fragrance.  If you go, it is right at the trailhead.  But go soon, because the blooms only last about a week.  

 

Then, spring is on to the next thing.  

 

 

HAPPY SPRING!!!
