Salem, Massachusetts: Flowers Around Town

Yesterday, my family spent the day in Salem, Massachusetts. Salem is best known for witch-y things but it's also a beautiful New England town rich in history.

Salem shop owners are creative with their flowers. I love the cone shaped hanging basket. This was one of several suspended from an overhang in a shopping area.

Flowering trees and shrubs are in bloom. Lilacs are flowering all over New England right now. Not so sure what the other white blossomed tree is, but I thought it was beautiful against the pink house.
