It's a dreary weather day today, however !

Hopefully this story of colorful photos and music will cheer you up

Good morning Norwich and Upper Valley residents,

Oh! what a dreary weather day we are having, one minute it is pouring rain then it is sunny and then it is windy and then back to the rain and the cycle repeats itself but not necessarily in that order. I thought it would be a perfect day to send you some nice photos compliments of Richard Neugass and his ‘Take a closer look’ series, who stated in his e-mail to me that the Northeast just wasn't producing flowers quick enough in early May, so he traveled to the west coast (Seattle, Portland and the Bay area).  You'll see the results of this sojourn throughout the summer and these are just a sampling.

Pride of Madeira

Love-in-a-mist

Crossvine Bignonia

Oriental poppy

Oregon City strawberries

Asian Clematis

Japanese Campher trees

Bearded Iris
