Dogwood Tree Blossom, The Other Side, Mars, PA
As you stretch and reach
and open yourself
to the sunshine
after the rain
I admire your beauty
from underneath
And wonder if its really much different
on the other side?
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
The Other Side
the creative life in between 
I love this. Words and image are beautiful.

What a stunning photo of the Dogwood Tree Blossom. It literally looks like it is glowing, ready to jump right out at you and share its love with you 😀 Great poem to go with the shot too. No matter which side we are on, there is always beauty all round – all we have to do is slow down, smell the roses and appreciate what there is 🙂
