Press Photos by Jim Marsh The Lock Ridge Park, in Alburtis, is widely known for its lush fields of bluebells which bloom annually in April. This year's bloom is outstanding according to one visitor who is drawn to the blue fields each year. The bluebells draw families with smartphones or expensive photography gear to capture youngsters posing among the colorful flowers. Others just sit on benches, or stroll on paths in the flower fields, admiring nature's spring spectacular.

Lehigh Valley-based professional photographer Carolina Fernandes, during a family photo session among the bluebells at Lock Ridge Park, Alburtis, captures Holly Ascherl, holding little sister Charlotte. Mom and dad Josh and Karina, of Barto, help out by coaxing smiles from the children. The family was among a number of other moms and dads hoping to capture a photographic record of their children during the annual bloom of the bluebells. Press Photo by Jim Marsh
