Beautiful...Reminds me of the way people are about everything. If it is in their back yard, they don't give it any credit. People travel all across the country to see the Ozarks when the Dogwood blooms, we hardly notice. My brother lives a couple hours from the west coast and never goes. Humans are silly.
