We've been coming to the Smokies for years, but have never seen the dogwood in bloom like we're experiencing it on this trip. We probably have close to a dozen dogwood trees on the property. Some are very large, some are small. There's one right at the end of the driveway that's very old, and the blossoms are almost the size of my hand. Take a look:
This is the sunroom and tower, with just a corner of one of the dogwood trees.
There are two large trees just outside the sunroom, just covered with blossoms.
This is the view from inside - looking out the west sunroom windows.
Looking down from the tower deck, just before sunset.
And for those of you who like pink dogwood, this one is just at the entrance to our driveway at Mountain Tower.
There are more, but this is enough for now. I'll try to get some other photos up by the weekend. Hope you enjoy these. You definitely should make plans to be here in late April next year, because the Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage is also going on at this time.
Beautiful! Wish I was there instead of stuck in this cubicle! :-)
