While every other region of the country celebrates four seasons, New England has an unofficial fifth one called mud season. 

Usually in full bloom around mid-April, Mud Season came to New England early this year.  Heaping helpings of rain have insured that rivers will run, wells will not go dry and gardens will thrive after this wet spring. 

I thought you might enjoy a touch of springtime, compliments of a number of New England inns and Jumping Rocks, a talented team of photographers who specialize in hospitality and B&B photography (along with travel, interiors, food and a number of other genres).
