    Susan, your photos are so beautiful. I am so sad, we have wonderful weather here in California but we don't have the wonderful variety that you have in GA. I enjoy seeing these posts so much. I don't think I have ever seen a dogwood up close and personal. How sad for me. Thanks for sharing... Maryrose
    Happy Outdoor Wednesday

    Hi Susan,

    Your images are so beautiful, I love Dogwoods, I have some photographs that I took a few years ago of Dogwood flowers, it is such a shame they are only out for such a short time.

    I can't believe I am the first on your list this week, I must have clicked across at just the right time.

    Thanks again for such a lovely party.

    Have a wonderful week,
    Coty

    The pink ones are just breath-taking! I stayed at a Sheraton in Columbus one time on business in the spring time, and to my surprise and delight, there was a little garden outside my room's windows with a flowering pink dogwood. Made an otherwise bleak business trip a little better. :)

    I'm so jealous! We still have no leaves on the trees, brown grass, and the chance of snow in the forecast every day. Thanks for giving me the "hope" that Spring will soon be here too!

    Susan, these dogwoods are absolutely stunning! I had almost finished my post for today when everything went nuts yesterday. So I hope to post it next week instead. I am on call for the hospital today for my friend's mom, so it's a no play day for me.

    I wanted to come by and say, "Hello!" in the interim.

    There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a dogwood blooming in the woods..they are snow white all over the wooded hillsides down here! These are glorious pics girl...I lost 3 of my dogwoods last year...only have 2 left...but the oldest one is covered in buds and I hope to see it in all it's glory in a few days!
