Dogwood Monday

When the dogwood tree has its collection of shiny red berries, that’s a sure sign that we’re approaching peak leaf season.  

The colors on the tree are lovely. 

Just as the dogwood is my early herald of Spring, it makes the Fall seasonal transition earlier than the rest of the yard.

In this way, I am given an early reminder of the charms of the season and a chance to appreciate the change in the air.
