Dogwood in Spring

Flowers are such a special part of spring and one of my favorite sights is blooming American dogwood. Our neighbors have a tree that I often photograph. One recent photo seemed perfect for a web inspiration challenge. It featured black and white with a touch of red.

Still Cold but less snowing - Plus Holiday Lights LO

So far not so many schools are listed to close on Tuesday, so we'll see. There doesn't seem to be snow falling now and it isn't even blowing around quite so much. It is only 15 F though, so not too nice out there.

I got a freebie template with circle cuts last month and finally found a photo I wanted to use in it. The lights are from mid-October when there were lots of colorful leaves. The lights were orange for Halloween. Now the tree is bare as you could see in a post last week but it does have white lights for Christmas now. Still pretty, but I wish it were warm again!

So much snow!

For several days we missed significant snow while areas nearby got lots. Today we got snow and snow and more snow. The photo is of the neighbor's dogwood tree that acts as one of my signposts of the seasons. For our holiday greeting, be sure you've seen this post.

Yesterday I was delighted to get another super fortune in my fortune cookie. But Dick said, "Yeah, they got mine wrong too." At least it got me to dig out the previous one about artistic talent that I kept because it was so neat.
