I can hardly wait each year for the dogwoods. I love the way they just seem to float in the air before the leaves appear in the rest of the woods. I actually climbed a tree the other day in the woods to clip a branch for a photo shoot :) They are just too lovely for words and so are your photos Sam. Thanks for capturing this Carolina beauty.
oh my late grandmother used to have the most beautiful and outstanding old dogwood in the back of her yard alongside the lake bank. It was gorgeous. reminds me of happy happy times.
How beautiful! I especially love the first shot with the red farm buildings. What a lovely contrast with the white blossoms. Our magnolia tree is blooming now but the winter (and squirrels) were hard on it and there are only a few blossoms this year, sadly.
The east and south really comes alive with so many blooms in Spring! Not soi much here in the west, although I do have a pretty crab apple tree flowering in my backyard that I love!
There's nothing like a Western Carolina spring. The red barn photo is so lovely, it could grace the cover of a book or magazine. Here's to warm (and calm) weather!
Beautiful pictures Sam! I love the countryside in NC during the spring. It is so beautiful!

Such beautiful and easy scenery. Blessings and a beautiful week to you Sam. Catherine xo
ReplyDeleteWe have them here also, although nothing beats the mountains of NC. Can you believe we are on tornado watch today?!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou appear to be a week or so behind us as our dogwood trees have been raining white blooms along with the double bloom pink cherry.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the native wild dogwoods in my home state of Virginia. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Yea, spring!

ReplyDeleteI get very sentimental when I see dogwoods in bloom.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! Dogwoods are one of my favorites - I can never decide if I like the pink or the white best!

ReplyDeleteSpring has become my favorite time of year since moving here. Glory surrounds us.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, Sam.
Aren't we lucky to have such a beautiful tree growing wild?
