Thirteen Night Dogwood
-
Thirteen
-
I thought the first night shot was so cool that I’d try it again when it wasn’t raining.
-
Plus, I was taking that first one at just before midnight with my flash set up on a tripod off-camera.
-
My neighbor, Tom, came to his backdoor while I was out there. He probably saw the flashing and thought something weird was going on.
-
Not that taking pictures of trees at midnight with an off-camera flash is a perfectly sane thing to do.
-
They don’t call me “crazy tree lady” for nothing.
- Incidentally, we now have nine official guesses as to how many days past Easter it will take our dogwood to reach full blossom.
My Gemini alter ego said 11 days. (Wrong.)
Brad and Heidi both said 17 days — April 9.
Cheryl said 18 days — April 10.
My original guess was 21 days — April 13.
Carolina Girl said 23 days after Easter — April 15.
Melissa said 38 days — April 30.
Jeff from Linden said 40 days — May 2. (Love the symbolism of “40 days.”)
Gabe said 51 days past Easter — May 13, his sister, Hayley’s, birthday.
Happy Sunday! What’s your guess?
bwahahaha…. I’m gonna win!
I love the nighttime shots!

Then tension is suffocating after viewing so many Dogwood photos.

This thing better start opening up because pretty soon the blog post is going to have to be about “how many ways can you photograph a dogwood bud.” UGH!
