Happy Easter to those who celebrate!
Dawn on nearby mountain top March 29. Some days I stay inside and enjoy the view ...but some days I just must drive around to see what's blooming. You'll notice here a little dogwood tree is just by that ramp to the other apartments.
Posted this dogwood back on March 24...
And here it is in full bloom April 1.
On Rhododendron Ave. coming from the Lakeview Center on April 2.
More of the pink dogwood variety soon!
Dawn hits the mountain top on April 2...blooms have appeared.
On the other side of that building is a pink dogwood.
I did drive around and called it my dogwood tour of Montreat and Black Mountain. The white blooms just are such great punctuation marks in the greyness of deciduous trees, or against occasional evergreens.
Through the windshield looking downhill.
Not my photo, but the swallowtails have appeared again!
More of the pink dogwood variety soon!

Always lovely to see the first spring blossoms. Around here, no trees in bloom to be seen yet, and we seem to be "celebrating" Easter Day with a proper rainstorm, blown in from Britain...
ReplyDeleteYour area is in a nice stage of renewal. It is good for the spirit.
ReplyDeleteYour dogwoods are ahead of ours. They're a favorite sight, against the darker trees, I'm checking daily.
ReplyDelete...Barbara, your neck of the woods looks mighty nice. Have a Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteThe beauty of Spring, Easter, and Buddhist philosophy! Jack Kornfield has done so much to make Buddhist teachings accessible to us.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara, for the dogwood tour as it will be a while until any blooms arrive in Nashua, NH. Growing up, my parents had several dogwood trees in our front yard and they were a wonderful prelude to Spring. Enjoyed seeing the views from your window too. Sending best wishes for a joyous Easter.😀
