Cornouiller - Tracey Capone Photography 2012
About a week ago, I posted about my obsession with magnolias which sadly, are all but gone at this point, thanks to high winds and the ever changing season. However, with the changes in temperature and the advance of Spring comes my favorite flowering tree, the dogwood.
I don’t know what it is about dogwoods, but, photographically speaking, I have always loved how the clusters of flowers, each adorned with the most delicate flower, almost reach out to you in a photograph. I love the patterns the trees create with a mix of straight lines and swirls of blossoms. I love that the flowers, while seemingly delicate, also seem to possess a sturdiness that magnolias do not.

I spent most of the day Saturday out with the camera, trying to capture as many of the newly flowered dogwoods as I could (I actually came away with 232 photographs… I’m not sure if I should be proud of that number or concerned that my obsession runs deeper than I thought) and I wanted to share a few of them with you today.
Do you have a favorite Spring flower? Something you can’t wait to photograph each season?
Enjoy!

Dogwoods are my favorites, too! Love your photos…that last one is my favorite of the 3, beautiful!!
I actually smile when I see dogwoods in bloom the first time
Thank you very much!
Dogwood is one of my favorite trees. Love the lighting on that last one.
This year I’ve been obsessed with photographing apple blossoms. The crabapple trees are especially pretty this year.
The crabapples are rather beautiful aren’t they? I was just thinking that yesterday when I was at the Chicago Botanic Garden. I don’t remember them being quite so pretty in past years.
“Cascade” is my favorite in this group. Dogwoods are so lovely, I wish I wasn’t allergic to their pollen!
Thanks Earl
I’m allergic as well… I typically come home with red eyes and a stuffy nose but the end result is worth it!
