Dogwoods Rebirth (haiku)*

tender buds break skin~

Spring awoke yawned stretching limbs~

opens eyes to blooms

lg/15032020

*Note: The photos were taken by me yesterday. It was a rainy cloudy day. However here on my little piece of mountain top nature begins its rebirth. The dogwood is a beautiful tree in each season ( except winter when it’s mournfully bare). I’ve chose this music for its lovely sound, tribute to Spring and the beautiful flowers in the video.
