Dance Of The Dogwood ...
"Legend Of The Dogwood"
~
At the time of the crucifixion, the dogwood had reached the size of the mighty oak tree. So strong and firm was the wood that it was chosen as the timber for Jesus' cross.
To be used for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the dogwood. While nailed upon it, Jesus sensed this, and in his compassion said, “Because of your pity for my suffering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used for a cross. Henceforth, it shall be slender, bent, and twisted, and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross – two long and two short petals.
"In the center of the outer edge of each petal will be the print of nails. In the center of the flower, stained with blood, will be a crown of thorns so that all who see it will remember."
Blossoms of a beautiful pink dogwood tree
dance in the May breeze on a sunny spring
afternoon in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Hope Springs Eternal ...
"Hope springs eternal ..."
~ Alexander Pope
~ 1688-1744
Hope springs eternal, just as surely as
the daffodils bloom in the early spring.
I always fill with happiness like a child
when I see spring's first blooms.
This is the first daffodil bud I've seen this season,
captured in mid-March a little more than
a week before the official beginning of
spring, a time of hope, beauty and fresh possibilities.
Daffodil, Jonquil, Narcissus ... whatever
name you choose, this bud says spring
is awakening at Trexler Memorial Park,
Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Hope, like spring, is ever near.

Evening Kiss ...
"April love ...
Every star's a wishing star that shines for you,
April love is all the seven wonders,
One little kiss can tell you this is true."
~ "April Love"
~Theme song from the 1957 film "April Love"
~ Music by Sammy Fain,
lyrics by Paul Francis Webster
~ Recorded by Pat Boone
Sunset light kisses this beautiful breaking bud
on my favorite magnolia tree on a beautiful
April evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
