In my last post, I mentioned that I probably wouldn't get a chance to photograph the Dogwood blossoms this Spring. Well a small window of opportunity, very small, presented itself and so here are my attempts. These were taken from the Pohono bridge at the west end of Yosemite Valley. The area around here was lacking in terms of trees full with blossoms but my understanding was that near Curry Village was the best show. I never made it past this bridge.
There are still a few areas on HWY 41 south of Yosemite, in the Sierra National Forest, that should be really going off right about now. I'm hoping to check it out soon.
And here's another, much longer, exposure of the same tree. Let me know if you have a preference.
