Resurrection!

The dogwoods bloomed just in time for Easter Sunday.

I hope you and your family enjoyed a Blessed Resurrection Day!

Matthew 28:5-7 "5 The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."

Spring in the Woods

On a springtime walk in the woods of the southeast, you might spot - a quiet lake with new life buzzing, swimming, & hopping all around, wildflowers, wild ferns, honeysuckles, blackberry blossoms, and unidentified seed pods.

Spring in Tuscaloosa 2

My composition is less than perfect with that big pine in the way, but I loved the contrast between the waxy green magnolia and the stark white dogwood. The magnolia tree here is HUGE. It's one of the largest I've ever seen and it has several giant buddies in the same yard. The dogwood is also large for its type. I think this one is worth a click to enlarge.

Pink Dogwood

The dogwood trees are blooming in Tuscaloosa. I love the white variety that is native in the southeast. This pink dogwood is a cultivated variety and a favorite of mine.

Groundhog, Shmoundhog

These daffodils obviously didn't hear the Groundhog's forecast for 6 more winter weeks. Buds are budding, birds are singing, the sap is risin', yippee! Of course, it's freezing this morning, but spring can't be far behind these yellow lovelies.
