Dogwood Flowers and Branches. Yosemite National Park, California. April 27, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
I photographed these two dogwood flowers and dogwood branches in a dark and shady area of the Yosemite Valley forest last April just as the spring bloom was starting. (With the apparent intent of simplifying photographers’ lives, the tree had fallen over so that the beautiful blooms were mostly right at about waist level… :-)

Rob, one of things I like about this photo is, as you put it, the “repeating element” of the two flowers with the second one a bit smaller and OOF. I also like the contrasting angles of the branches going in more or less opposite directions.

Nice repeating elements and lovely warm tones Dan.
