A Mickle of May Flowers

Revisited the Dogwood Tree today to conquer 3 challenges in one fell swoop!

May Flowers
Mad 4 May word: Blossom/Autumn (Depending on your hemisphere)
Mad Minute Word: Mickle (which is a Scottish term meaning "many")

Wish I could catch up on all your shots as quickly as I conquered these challenges!

[Laraine Kensicki]

what a lovely shot, perfectly framed ~

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@eniaral Thanks Laraine! I'd already posted one of this lovely little tree in front of the church, but it was perfect for the 3-1 challenge.

[Bev]

Nice shot, Ann! :) Love the color and the softness of it. You did a good job on this! :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@prttblues thanks Bev!

[Edie]

Great processing. Love the soft feel of this.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@edie Thank you Edie! It just needed something a little different.

[Chris]

Love the colors!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@chrismarfil Thank you Chris- and thanks for so many nice comments today!

[summerfield]

your dogwood is pinkish! all i see around here is the white variety. these look really lovely.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@summerfield Thank you Vikki! The White Dogwood is more common and I think naturally grows in the wild. The Red Dogwood seems to be more landscaped. I've never seen one in the woods as I have the White variety.

[Vickie Posey]

Pink dogwoods are always beautiful :-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@vposey thank you Vicke!
