Funny thing. I think dogwoods in my neighborhood haven’t bloomed as nicely as they have in the past. For one thing it appears that the flowers have been more sparse this year. (Did anyone else notice this?) Also the flowers don’t seem to have stayed in bloom as long as I remember in the past.
As long as I was photographing flowers, I figured I should get the dogwood before I lost my opportunity.
That was about my best dogwood photo this year.
I looked again and I saw:
Wow. The bee wasn’t moving so I got a nice close up. (No I’m not scared of bees. It may be stupidity.)
I tried to get a second shot of the bee but ..
It must have been in bad shape. But if I’m correct it fell off the petal. Can you see the leg still sticking over the top? I looked below – though not too thoroughly – and didn’t see it. I didn’t hear it fly past me. I guess the surprisingly chilly weather today made it difficult for him to get around.
Here are some previous dogwood pictures.

I have no problem with snakes, or rodents-but if it’s spelled WASP it better be a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant or an Italian motorbike.
