Order Soma 350Mg Online These Dogwood blossoms were dressed in their Sunday best, and showing off their beauty in a tiny landscaped area in front of a century old church. Most everyone was inside the building, dressed in their Sunday morning finery, but I was outside in the warm sunshine, preferring to examine and photograph a bit of nature’s fleeting beauty.

I could have looked at the blossoms for hours. See the tiny circular area that almost looks like a tiny eye? Reminds me of the “false eyes” that some butterflies have on their wings as defensive adaptations. And notice how the dogwood blossoms are in layers, facing towards the sun–getting their full share of sunshine? I love that.

Peeking at a Red Tulip

https://anthonynewmancamps.com/soccer-camps/ I was intrigued how the tulips, just beginning to open their buds yesterday, rather hunkered down against a rather sharp wind and sudden drop in temperatures today. I like the dreamy nature of this photograph, and how the bits of the interior of the red tulip are quite hidden from view.
