March 22, 2014 - Part 2

These are the blossoms of an ornamental pear tree.  They're usually the first sign of spring in the south, at least the areas I've lived in.

This is the front of the restaurant we ate lunch at.  Note the cobblestone street and the railroad tracks.

Walking back to our car later that afternoon, we passed these lions guarding the side gate of a magnificent house.

And this is that magnificent house. It's much deeper than it is wide, but I wasn't far away enough to get a good picture of the side.  Maybe next time.  :)
