the dogwood is the state tree of virginia. dogwoods are now in bloom. some are fully involved others are just starting to open. my observation is that white dogwoods definitely bloom before the pink ones. like magnolias, their leaves are very sculptural. enjoy! thanks in advance for any comments.

Ah, Jen, you always do such a nice job, and this is no exception. Lovely and on to my hard drive.

Who would appreciate this photo? Everyone and their dog would. I love Dogwoods Jen. That's what I miss most from the Lake of the Ozarks. They're beautiful, just like this photo. Thanks for bringing up such a nice memory. Have a good weekend.

..and in my heart! Such beautiful blossoms the dogwood has and I always wanted such a tree in my front yard. Not only are the individual blossoms beautiful, the whole tree is very graceful. I favor the pink ones and the macro of this blossom is just in-your-face stunning and I intend to have this one. Thanks, Jen. A new favorite!

Did you know that white Dogwoods are the only true dogwoods?
The pink ones have "evolved" so to speak. They are kind of like "suckers"..weird eh?! We had thousands of the white ones in Louisiana...and up here in ORegon, people 'choose' the pink
ones, they even splice a tree so that it will grow both pink and white on the same tree. But the pink ones are so pretty too.
I love your photo, its so tender and sweet looking. It sure brings back memories of the many years I lived in Louisiana. Maybe I'll post my Dogwood photo too..V

Up till the other day had never even heard of a Dogwood, and this is the first I`ve seen one of the flowers up close. A very beautiful flower and you captured it very well.

Even God doesn't plan to judge a man till the end of his days, why should you and I?
