Dogwood Monday: Week 6

This week, the dogwood flowers are nice and large.

Last summer's hurricane felled a tree in my neighbor's yard.  That tree shaded a good deal of my driveway and was also much larger than the dogwood, so my tree was forced to grow in the shade.  Once the neighbor's tree was gone, the dogwood got to enjoy a lot more sunshine.

And the tree has taken advantage of the improved growing climate.  That's happy.
