I'm Back...

Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 5 April 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

The dogwood trees in the Smokies are starting to bloom and everywhere you looked there were more and more. This one tree was right in our campsite which made it so lovely to wake up too.

I just got home last night and have barely checked out the 400+ pictures I took while I was gone. : 0

Thank you for all the wonderful comments while I was gone and I will be checking on all your Am3 sites over the next few days.

I have uploaded some of my favorite images to redbubble for sale http://www.redbubble.com/people/jenseye
Please go check it out and if there is something you like in my portfolioi here on Am3 that isn't posted on redbubble please let me know and I can upload for purchase. Thank you!

Dogwoods!!!! That is definately one thing I miss about not living in NC anymore. I still think the white ones look better than the pink ones.

@DTW: I love the white ones, if the sun hits them just right they just glow!
Thanks for all your visits DTW!

Great shot! I like them green, when actually most of them are yellow and red. I mean the flowers, not Dogwoods! ;)
