You certainly captured the emotional quality of spring here, a material for dreams.

Even more important as reality tends to be nightmarish more than enchanting…

I like the selective focus that gives emphasis to the red bud. A beautiful shot with very strong appeal.

Thanks Earl for a reminder of what our spring will soon bring! Our dogwoods are still a few weeks away from blooming.

“Wonderful” pretty much sums it up. There is an ethereal quality to this that melts my heart. What a marvelous job you did of capturing the essence of the blooms. Somehow, the soft edges give me a perfect excuse to lose myself in the dreaminess here. This is one of my favorites of all your outstanding images.

What a beautiful image – I love the tender and dreamlike quality of the photograph. The narrow depth of field brings out the delicate petals and soft tones even more… marvellous!

Well, you’ve sold me on this image. It speaks loudly of Spring and makes me yearn for a bright warm day instead of this gray and cool day we have.

Hmmm, everytime I visit here I feel like I am seeing into the future. Sometimes I forget the geographic differences and think ‘whaaaaaa – how is that blooming now?” :-)

I have developed allergies over the past couple of years, and have noticed them acting up lately also – even though we don’t have as many blooms.
