Dogwood Flower all Open

Posted on Wednesday, April 30, 2008 at 6:33 pm


After 2 days of rain we had a bit of sun yesterday evening.  The dogwood tree really opened up.  It is too bad that it is being dwarfed by a neighbors maple tree.  This shot again is taken with the A100 and Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 combo.

A sure sign that spring is in full spring. This is the last tree in the yard to show some color. Both shots taken with the A100 and Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.

A couple of shots from the backyard taken with the Sigma 24-70mm on the A100. The bees are quite pesky this year, must be a sign of something.
