Bittersweet

My dogwood tree is dying. I really never appreciated its beauty, until the 365 opened my eyes to the wonders of nature around me. This may be the last year it blooms.

Thank you so much for your kind responses to yesterday's butterfly and kitten pics! :0)

And if it has to be the last year, you have captured it well to remember it by! But maybe, it will continue to bloom . . .
