There's a disease affecting all dogwoods, slowly. This red blossomed one has lost a portion of it's limbs.
and Thursday with some sunshine...
Parking under trees in springtime means lots of pollen dust on cars, and the little seedpods too.
The red dogwood is valiantly trying to produce blooms.
And later in the month...
And a quote for you:
This magnificent refuge is inside you.
Enter.
Shatter the darkness that shrouds the doorway...
Be bold. Be humble.
Put away the incense and forget
the incantations they taught you.
Ask no permission from the authorities.
Close your eyes and follow your breath
to the still place that leads to the
invisible path that leads you
home.
Enter.

invisible path that leads you
home.
St. Teresa of Avila
...who is responsible for that pruning job in the first photo?
ReplyDeleteProbably the maintenance man.
DeleteHello, I love the dogwoods, it would be a shame to loose them from a disease. Some kind of disease killed our weeping cherry tree. The exercise looks fun! Take care, enjoy your day! Wishing you a happy weekend ahead.
ReplyDeleteI love dogwoods too, hopefully they will recover. I like the quote, very nice indeed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine sky in most of those dogwood pics.
