Dogwoods 2nd Bloom

[JimFox]

I always make an effort to get to Yosemite and shoot the Dogwoods in bloom in early May, it has dawned on me that Dogwoods bloom twice, or at least feel like they bloom twice since in the fall while there are now flowers blooming, their leaves sure seem to bloom with cool orange and red colors.

This was from a few weeks ago in Yosemite.

All comments are welcome,

Yes, I had dogwoods in Spokane and they do put on two shows every year. This is very nice.

Dogwoods definitely shine twice a year. In a lot of ways I like the Fall version better. The range of reds is striking!
Nicely done, Jim!

Nice colors. I like the way you composed it as well.

Thank you Ben. I am really starting to appreciate the fall coloring of the Dogwoods.

Definitely some nice colors there - one of those color shows that happens under the forest canopy with the lower tier of vegetation. I like how the color show contrasts with the trunks of the tall trees.

Not really two blooms, but certainly two photo ops. Nice image, Jim.

Great color palette and I like the neighborhood the color is in.

Great comp, Jim. And the colors in the trees are very complementary.
