Something
else to make you long for spring in Gettysburg! I took this photo of redbuds at
Little Round Top a few springs ago, and can’t wait to see them again. The 140TH
New York Infantry monument is visible through the branches at bottom
center-left. The skies aren’t very inviting, but they’re intriguing nonetheless
. . . a hint of rain on the battlefield is always a treat for those who love
ambiance, though perhaps not for those on Segways, bikes, motorcycles, or their
own two feet.
