The limbs of a birch tree at Point Park get ready to bloom for the year in front of a large mural of West Virginia mountains covered with colorful trees. The large mural is painted on the flood wall that protects downtown Parkersburg from flooding. If you have a recent photo that showcases the beauty of the Mid-Ohio Valley, submit it to Art Smith at asmith@newsandsentinel.com for possible inclusion on this page.
