Dogwood Bud (or E.T.)--Cornus florida

By far, my favorite tree anywhere. Not sure how much bloom I'll get by end of March, but the Atlanta Dogwood festival will be in April (also my wedding anniversary month). I took two others of these buds because they are stunners. Sorry for all the uploads today! Just happy to be out in sun, doing things I love, and having no papers to grade. Feeling so good about the decision to take a break from the life of an underpaid adjunct.
