The Old Dogwood

This is the old dogwood, seen from the front porch. Unfortunately it is in sad shape, and nearly covered in Ivy vines. Twenty years ago it would bloom beautifully every spring, but little by little it was damaged by the fungus that kills Dogwood trees. Our neighbors have lost two trees, and this one is nearly gone, sad to day. The photograph of it has a really nice mood to it, if somewhat sad.
