Ada Icon and Bluffton Icon are sharing spring photos this week.

Last week, Ada posted photos of our town's spring blooms. We are sharing those photos on the Bluffton Icon this week.

In return, we're sharing Bluffton's spring photos.

Please enjoy the photos of spring in Bluffton - attachment at bottom of story -

It’s mid-April. Let’s cruise Bluffton.

In our quick trip you’ll notice lots of reds, pinks and in-between shades as trees put on their spring robes. In a few weeks lots more blooming things will catch our attention.

We’ll watch for those, too.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, March 17, 2017

This fashionable gentleman, well call him Fred, is sporting an Ada Icon cap.

The challenge, dear reader, is to guess where you'll find him.
