Flowers, by God

It is a gray and cold day, standing puddles are all over the yard, and it is just not good for photographing much of anything, and worse, stark white and gray contrasts are my bane. But I wanted to visit some nice yard flowers nonetheless, and share them with the greenery starved folks who may still be longing for that first petal.

Leucojum aestivum: Summer snowflake. A sweet little flower that hangs cup-down like a lily of the valley, with cute green dots on the points of each petal.

The dogwood tree, where I hang my bird feeder. The birds eat me out of house and home!

Scene near where I live

Comer First Baptist Church, down the street from where I live. Dogwoods blooming. Taken a few weeks ago.

Dogwood mania!

I didn't know that there were different colors of dogwoods. Well, we have had the pear blossoms pass, the forsythia is in force, and now the dogwoods are starting. Spring in Georgia is beautiful.

Here are two photos of our main street in Comer. Standing with the Post Office on my right shoulder, looking east, we see the Bank with a flowering Dogwood in front. Across the street from the Bank is the Phone Company, complete with old timey fonts, with another Dogwood. Notice the phone booths, obsolete and almost entirely gone from most urban and rural landscapes. I love Comer!
