Hi Tami,
I suspect not, but a physical sample is required to determine if blight is present. I don't see the typical defoliation associated with blight. A sample should consist of a sizeable branch with both symptomatic and healthy foliage. If the plants are positive there are no viable treatment options. Removal is recommended. Submit samples to your local county extension office.
