Last week during my visit to Sweetwater Creek I was overwhelmed by the number of beautiful dogwoods I saw blooming in the forest. So many were above my head. I could not get a good photo of the bloom in detail. As I was leaving I found a tree that had blooms down where I could get something. The photo on the blog today is one of them. I decided to be different with it -- so many are in full color. I changed the photo to black and white in Silver Efex and then toned it sepia. I really like the look.
Happy Easter -- I will share an Easter memory. When I was little -- maybe 5 -- we went to church on Easter Sunday. Everyone was dressed in their finest. The ladies also wore an orchid corsage. I remember seeing them for sale everywhere in the days leading up to Easter. I had on a cute Easter dress, the black patent shoes, a hat, and a black patent purse. As I was sitting on the wooden pew with my parents -- all of a sudden I remembered I had gum in my mouth. My grandmother would say things about people -- children in particular -- who chewed gum in church. It was disrespectful. So I immediately reached to my mouth to remove the gum and place it in a piece of paper in my purse.
It was then that I remembered I was wearing new white Easter gloves. Yep -- my gum was wrapped in my glove and stowed in my purse. So now I never chew gum and wear gloves at the same time.
Have a great day -- and take some photos!
