York County park volunteer wildflower walk

Eight York County Parks volunteers were treated Monday to a walk at Shenk's Ferry Wildflower Preserve in Lancaster County.  Led by Nixon Park naturalist Francis Velazquez, the eight volunteers managed to locate and name 54 species of wildflowers.

These foot-tall may apples at left appear to be small trees, but it's only because of the perspective from a wide angle lens. At right, a trillium stands alone among thousands of Virginia bluebells.
