First Parish

In response to yesterday's question and some google image searaching, I am going to say that it does indeed look to be a cherry tree in the picture in front of city hall. Good answers!

From just a bit down the road, another tree is in bloom...

I waited about 5 minutes for some people to walk by, but didn't catch anyone. This is usually a pretty busy sidewalk and in general, most of my photos just happen to make it look like no one lives in Portland. I aim to take more 'people shots' in the future.

The church in the picutre is the First Parish Church, and is Portland's oldest place of worship.
