Trampled Under Foot…The Bluebells are out in Lockridge Park
It’s April and the "Bluebells"(Grape Hyacinth) are blooming in Lockridge Furnace Park in Alburtis, PA. Along with that comes many parents and photographers selfishly instructing their children trample these little flowers that carpet the field, destroying the scene for those who come later. The field has numerous little pathways through that allow you to walk …
