"The Mississippi Delta begins in the lobby of The Peabody Hotel and ends on Catfish Row in Vicksburg. The Peabody is the Paris Ritz, the Cairo Shepherd's, the London Savoy of this section. If you stand near its fountain in the middle of the lobby... ultimately you will see everybody who is anybody in the Delta..." -- Author/Historian David Cohn, 1935.

Memphis, the "City of Good Abode", is well known for its wonderful BBQ, The Blues, and of course...Elvis! But, there is even more to Memphis, including a rich and diverse history, architectural beauty, exquisite gardens, and warm, Southern charm...
I'm so glad that you stopped by...
Welcome!

The enlarged photo is a dream! It doesn't get much better than that, indeed. Sigh.
A marvelous example of the beauty that resides in my hometown. :) Thanks for sharing with those of us far (enough) from home!
They are pretty, and lining both sides of the road, I bet thats a great drive.
Wish I could smell them. The blossoms are eye catching.
Love the cherry trees. Do they bear fruit?
That is an absolutely fascinating photo - so much to see with the blooms in front, the girth of the trees and the shadows they cast on that glorious green. You captured some marvels of the world there, Southern Heart.
This photo is a welcome beacon to spring. The trees are glorious and warms my heart!
That is a pretty tree. I wish we had they down here on the coast.
