Dogwoods and Redbuds
Project 365 – Day 97
The quintessential sign of spring for me is the arrival of blooming dogwood and redbud trees. These are indigenous to much of the south, and the Tennessee countryside where I grew was full of them. I cannot remember a spring when they were not both prevalent and hearty. Once they start to bloom, they go “full tilt” within a couple of days. The dogwoods show like light in a mostly dark, dead forest as it awakens from winter’s grip. Many varieties of trees and flowers have been blooming here for the past 3-4 weeks, but I’ve noticed an explosion of these two favorites the last couple of days. Spring has sprung!

Beautiful! I miss not being up that way this spring!
