The Beauty of Dogwoods

Perhaps one of the most beautiful flowering trees is the dogwood.  I came across this one in a forest here in Michigan last Spring, and took this photo.  Years ago when I lived in Georgia, I remember having purchased my first home in the winter.  When Spring came I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had nine dogwood trees on my property, as my whole yard came alive with these beautiful blooms.  I simply love the natural artistry of these blooms and the trees themselves.
