Pretty shot & easy on the eyes w/only a select few colors.
thank you, Claude! i’m so glad that you like it! it’s from my parents’ backyard.
beautiful
thank you, again, for your follows! i really appreciate it.
Interesting that you shot this when the blooms are fading.
actually, this was last week. all the dogwood trees look like this – very small flowers. i think they’re just as confused by the weather as we are.
lovely photo and poem, yi-ching. also dogwood branches in my childhood.
thank you, Susan. where did you grow up?
i did my wild, barefoot, dogwood growing up in Virginia Beach. There was one dogwood in a yard of pine trees and I always waited in spring for the blossoms. Easy to see the bird’s nesting, too.
