I call this one Downward Facing Dogwood. Taken from above, it shows our dogwood’s drooping magnificence. Next is a view from almost the same angle but including the neighbors’ flowering trees, too.

How good everything smells, how many new bird calls, how the leaf shadows are moving. How many people are smiling.
