dogwoods

Another Springtime photo that I stumbled across today from Yosemite National Park. Images like this can be so difficult to capture as the Dogwood branches that support the large blossoms are very thin and springy. The slightest breeze gets them bouncing like they are on a trampoline. So to get a...

Well the Dog Days of Winter made me look for some Dogwood Photos. Here is one from Yosemite from 2013. It's not in the Valley itself, but is in the National Park on the drive. All comments are welcome, Jim
