This week’s photo challenge, “beginning,” is an excellent way to start the year. Our entry represents the beginning of a new cycle for our native dogwood trees. These buds are just awaiting spring’s arrival. (The beginning of spring seems like a long way away when the wind chill is in the single digits. Brrrrr.)

Thankfully there are no buds here (Chicago area) as they would have been cruelly frozen over these last days. But I enjoyed looking at yours.

We shouldn’t complain here in the south, despite record setting lows. We’ve seen the news about temps up north. Here’s hoping you are snug and warm!
