Dogwood

Dogwood

 
 
In this hemisphere of the planet
this is the time for Dogwood
to be flourishing.
 
As an Aucklander
I wasn’t aware of Dogwood
until I began to
spend more time in
cooler parts of New Zealand.
 
I’ve photographed Dogwood
three or four times in the last
couple of years and the photo
above is my most recent attempt.
 
This particular image was taken
with my new iPhone, in Pukekura Park
here in New Plymouth.
 

Dogwood

One of the great pleasures of living in such a southern part of New Zealand is that I
am seeing a floral display that coming from the warmer northern part on the country is of an intensity that I have never experienced before.

One of my favourite Ansel Adams photos was of the Dogwood. I think that his photo is a lot better than mine.
