Van Vleck House and Gardens | Montclair, New Jersey
Van Vleck House and Gardens in Montclair, New Jersey began as a 12-acre private estate in 1868.
In 1992 the heirs of the Van Vleck family gave the house and the gardens to the non-profit Montclair Foundation.
The private gardens are free and open to the public from dawn to dusk 365 days a year. There are classes, concerts, and special events that take place through the year.
The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, and the estate is especially famous for the wisteria blooming around the house.
You can read more about the Van Vleck House and Gardens here.

Morley Safer and Modern Art
I grew up watching 60 Minutes on CBS (Channel 2 in New York).
My parents would watch the show every Sunday night, and so I watched it with them. It is a show that has a style all its own -- just like The New York Times and The New Yorker. Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, "Gunga Dan" Rather, Andy Rooney, Harry Reasoner, Point/Counterpoint -- I remember it all.

Even though Montclair, New Jersey has fewer than 40,000 residents, it boasts of many parks, a diverse population, and a strong interest in the arts.
The town even has a fine art museum, situated on a beautiful street with quite a few splendid mansions.

The Pink Cherry Blossoms are in Full Bloom | Newark, New Jersey
The pink cherry blossoms in Branch Brook Park in Newark, New Jersey are now in full bloom!
We had a weekend of gorgeous weather and they have responded beautifully in an explosion of PINK!
These pink ones are my favorites. They inspire me in so many ways.
They bring joy and beauty to the thousands of visitors who come to see them every year.
Somehow I always think of this song when I see cherry blossoms:
I was humming that #1 song as I visited the lovely flowering trees on Sunday:

Cherry Blossoms in Branch Brook Park | Newark, New Jersey
The cherry blossoms in Branch Brook Park have been a bit slow in blooming this year, due to the very cold and harsh winter we had.
The dark pink ones have been reluctant to bloom, but some of the others are near or getting past their peak bloom.
Hopefully, the dark pink ones will bloom soon.
These photos were taken on Tuesday, April 28, 2015.
You can read about the historic cherry blossoms trees and the history of the park here.
You can see my other cherry blossom photos here.
