Office Entrance  by jgpittenger

Office Entrance

It had been two weeks since I'd been to my office and this is what greeted me when I got there. When we bought the office in the late 90's, we planted this tree. It was about 1 1/2 ft tall. And look at it now. Talk about satisfying.
There's been a lot of discussion of late on 365 re to thank or not to thank. I'd like to let everyone who follows me, who visits, who comments, who favs my shots that I am immensely appreciative and that I am overwhelmed with the time commitment of 365 and will spend what time I have visiting and commenting on others rather than thanking. Hope that isn't hurtful to anyone.
Oh yes - such a joy - I like to walk past a crab apple we planted at our previous house - especially as the one I planted here was vandalised.

That is gorgeous - is it a cornus? Please say yes because I've just planted one and the thought it could end up like this makes me very happy!

@taz_o Can't say yes...it's a dogwood

@jgpittenger no - that's great - a cornus is a dogwood - only a few year's to wait then. I'm quite excited!

@judithg Jim could be Johny Appleseed. Wherever he goes, he planners trees. I chose this one bu he must have planted literally 1000 trees on our property. I feel proud to be married to a man who does that!

Fabulous - I had a friend whose dad had some land in Northumbria and he had all of us growing baby trees from gathered seeds to plant on the land. He has moved up there now and they must also have a created a whole mixed forest between them now - really a legacy to be proud of.

@judithg Jim didn't start with seeds but for sure it's a lovely mixed forest.

What a beautiful scene. The kousa dogwoods are glorious here this year too, full of blossoms.

It's beautiful !! I have one, but it always has very few flowers, no idea why ! I agree with the thanking and time commitment and have started it myself...

Beautiful

What a beauty. I'd love one in my garden! I agree with the time commitment/commenting thing totally. I've learnt to do the same as it all gets too much otherwise!

What a nice surprise!

We planted one a few years ago - I love the mass of blossom.

What a splendid tree! Bet you felt welcomed back to the office! (I agree with you about thanking... I'd rather spend time looking at others photos!)

It's Lovely!

I don't think I've ever seen a dogwood with so many bracts. Gorgeous. An apple tree I planted 4 or 5 years ago was full of blossoms for the first time this year. Exciting!

So beautiful! I'm glad you're back.

Lovely tree. Dogwood is it?
