It was a gorgeous Spring morning worthy of a few (cell phone) photos.
CrazyMom got me all wistful with her wild dogwood, wisteria and other gorgeous flora. I commented about a close up of the dogwoods and she shared some awesome shots! Thanks CrazyMom!
In our neighborhood, creamy dogwoods are more common than the white or pink varieties. Ours are just starting to awaken from their dreamy sleeps.
Morning light captured in shy buds. Don't they look luminous as they yawn and stretch their petals?
Just one more...these flowers remind me of teacups.
Check out this weeping cherry.
Cascading pink petals were such a spectacle as to nearly take my breath away.
Spring is certainly in the air, though not yet as fully as in Hotlanta. Do visit CrazyMom's blog for real displays of delicate beauty.
Despair not northern cousins, Spring is on its way!

Motif #19 - Elcie
Design © 2011 Wanda Salmans
#652 Royal Blue and Flora #238 Navy Blue.
The latest addition to my 25 Motif Challenge is a test tat of tattrldy's Elcie motif. Didn't it turn out well?
I loved tatting this. The pattern was easy to memorize and fun to the final stitch. And it makes a lovely mat.
Elcie measures an even 3 by 3 inches (7.6 by 7.6 cm). Three shades of blue give it a tranquil air. Adding this classy little square to my 25 Motif Challenge will bring my total up to 19.
