The Dogwoods are Blooming in
Hot Springs, Arkansas

The most amazing thing about Hot Spring is that hot springs (in fact, VERY hot springs) actually DO exist...
they bubble up through the sidewalks, as you can see in the upper left corner.
Flower baskets hanging from street lamps of downtown Hot Springs, 
where there are many victorian buildings from a bygone era
(former resorts that line the once glamorous Bathhouse Row).
Everywhere you see glamorous water fountains from which residents collect buckets of the
famous Hot Springs mineral water. My parents live in Hot Springs Village on a beautiful lake,
and my Dad is the greatest barbecue chef in Arkansas (in my humble opinion!)
