The blooming of our native dogwoods [Cornus florida] mark spring for me. Peppered throughout old farms and Lyme’s preserves, dogwoods seem to be honored members of our community. This single last blossom, surrounded by the new leaves that will nourish the tree, serves as a reminder to celebrate their beauty.

This newly emerged white oak leaf gives one a sense of hope and renewal. The rosy color is a beautiful contrast against the surrounding springtime green.
