And it may be odd shaped, but even so, I think it’s quite beautiful.

On our evening walk through the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum, we didn’t see much in the way of green, but the skies were quite blue, and the pond provided a lovely reflection of early springtime.

It’s the Berries

Red Osier (Red Twigged Dogwood) Berries © 2008
A walk in the prairies show grasses are browning, flowers are setting seed, and this red osier shrub (red twigged dogwood) is ladened with bunches of heavy white berries. By the way, the berries do not turn red.
The dogwood’s name has nothing to do with dogs. The word is derived from an Old English wood dagge (dagger) and refers to the hardness of the wood. A European species was once used to make butchers’ skewers.
