You do not have to travel far from the Stockade neighborhood to see stands of cherry blossom trees and fine examples of magnolia blossoms. (Click here to see our coverage of 2013 Stockade blossoms; and here for the 2014 Stockade cherry blossoms.) Below is a collage of photos at Schenectady City Hall, on Sunday April 28, 2013, with its array of cherry blossoms. Following that are two collages taken at Congregation Gates of Heaven in Niskayuna, NY, displaying their amazing weeping cherry blossom trees; one was shot yesterday on a overcast gray day (April 29), and the other under today’s bright blue skies. Finally, you’ll find a compilation of photos taken of the magnolia trees blossoming this week at two Schenectady County Public Library locations — the Scotia Branch, with its gorgeous mature tree, and the Central Library, with a younger but lovely tree.
