Spring in southern Oregon is a sight to behold, and some of the showiest flowers are the dogwoods. Here is a glimpse of a few branches from a tree in full bloom. They are breathtaking!! I captured these beauties a few years ago when I was on a bike ride with my husband in the Applegate Valley! :)

In 2013, Steve and I cycled almost every weekend with a local group that went on rides all over southern Oregon. I always took my camera and whenever we took breaks, I could be found creeping around with my camera and having a glorious time! Our springs are incredible here, and for the first time in my life, I got to see magnolia trees in bloom. I wasn't prepared for the dozens of species that have been planted here, and oh the flowers!! INCREDIBLE! So many colors, different shapes and sizes of blossoms...what a treat to capture them! I found this pink magnolia image just yesterday. It makes me so happy to give the proper attention to it, and to share with all of you! :) Thanks to all of you who properly identified tthis flower as a DOGWOOD! :D I thought it was a Magnolia! :D
