DOGWOOD

Posted by Anne (White Rock, Canada) on 26 April 2007 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

This is for Jen! The Dogwood is not fully in bloom yet. I got a surprise when I ventured out in the rain today. I went out to snap some more rhododendron blossoms which looked bigger. However, where there had been bright sky before, through my viewfinder, something was blocking that overbright light. It was the Dogwood tree sporting its new blooms ;)

Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! If there is anything that I can change that really needs changing and I can do it in editing - then I will change it and re-post the photo!

@Jen: Yes you were the first here! Only one other besides you, probably because I just gave up trying to get around last night. Thanks for struggling to get here! It seems a lot easier now - but tell me what your view is like. Have they altered the size of the photos? Only thing I can adjust is the text size!?!
I wish I could see right into the dogwood flowers - I don't fancy asking an upstairs neighbour if I could use their balcony - my old apartment used to be like that - I was on the 2nd floor and my face was opposite a dogwood tree.

This shot makes me want to travel to British Columbia immediately! The light is gorgeous.

@Betsy Carson: Thank you Betsy - well, y'know Portland is not all that far away! But you are further south - don't you have similar blossom and trees blooming?

Hey Anne!! Great shot!! Not fair that I'm still in the brown zone.. as I complained to Jen as well.. Anyways, I'm going to hurry up as I've been unable to navigate the site at all 'till now and it's better if I do it at work on the highspeed.. Hopefully, Am3 can keep us going 'till they switch to the new server..
