Babies and Blossoms
Once a year for a couple weeks in May, the cherry blossoms in Traverse City open up to reveal beautiful white flowers that will soon turn into our famous fruit. We have our usual favorite photo spots, but when the blossoms are poppin', you can almost always find us in a Northern Michigan orchard.
