Dogwood (II), 4.12.20

Looking Back

June 20, 2020June 20, 2020by patricia emerson mitchell2 Comments

I started going through my years of photography yesterday. Again. (Yes, I’ve tried this before.) I began with 2011, since that’s when I believe I became interested in walking, which also included taking photos of things I walked by. I have to say it’s been quite enlightening to do this. Who knew I took such awful pictures? I thought I was doing quite well. Now I see the truth. And I posted so many of these, thinking they were good! Ah well … the good news is that I have a much better eye now (and much better cameras, as well).

But what a long process this will be. The first round involves merely going through years and recording any special trips or events that I need to note. Then I’ll start my second round, which will be more of a chore as I delete photos that are simply horrendous. I won’t delete them all, mind you: some, as bad as they are, still cause me to remember a special time, so they must stay.

All that being said, I only now finished going through 2013. I have a long way to go! But here is an image that spoke to me today. The title might speak to why.

Some images are merely record shots and this will probably be put in that category. Still, it’s a dogwood, and I love those, plus it’s a plant very near our house. So many people have taken out their dogwoods, but these people put in two lovely trees, one of which is in full bloom.

Sometimes the Colors are a Distraction

In this case I felt that color only interfered with the flowers. So I am sharing this dogwood with you in monochrome. Now of course I’ve been known to change my mind, but I rather like this. I could warm it up a bit, but for now this is where it is and this is what I’m posting.

Here is another image from a good number of years ago. This wonderful dogwood tree was taken out a few years back and I think of it every time I walk by the house (it’s about a ten minute walk from home).

Pink & White Dogwood, 4.5.13(From my Dogwood (Set One) card collection, and no, the large pink and white petals are not flowers: they are called bracts. The flowers are in the center of the bracts.)
