The Weekend in Black and White: Dogwood Blossoms


The wind was blowing the dogwood tree limbs back and forth. Although I didn't catch the movement in this shot, I thought it turned out pretty well.

    It turned out beautifully. I think it’s a stunning shot. The dogwoods are blooming here in Richmond. We came over for Bud to runic another race and have been treated to gorgeous flowers and shrubs in full bloom. It’s raining now, but that is OK. When it quits, I will try once again to practice shooting the water droplets. genie

    What I love most are the shadows on the lovely flowers' petals. :o)
