I stumbled upon Bridge of Flowers while camping in Mass a few years ago. A friend and I were randomly exploring the countryside and noticed a random sign off a random road. "Bridge of Flowers? That could be fun." We headed into town, found a parking spot, and walked to the bridge. The flowers were amazing, beautiful, fragrant and just so well kept. I stayed for a good hour trying to grab the "perfect" shot. But each time I took a picture, I would turn around and find yet another, even more beautiful flower. I can't wait to get back up in the area to enjoy the garden, and to explore the Glacial Potholes (just down the river a bit), for a second time. Jeff C, GetOutsideNJ.com "Not all of Jersey stinks"
