Wow I like this photo!
It is a tree blossom. I believe it is called a Jeruselem Dogwood. Wev would probably know for sure. We have pink and white dogwoods blooming now. They are so lovely in woodland settings but many are planted as ornamentals in suburban settings. Of course Dogwood was said to be the wood of the true cross of Jesus Christ.

It is nice to be able to get out and about again although we are still getting a lot of intermittent rain. The crabapple tree below my apartment is in bloom
and down the street the Dogwoods also are blooming, The pink,
and the White
and in a nearby park i climbed this fence to snap this Magnolia blossom
Is it a rare Big Leaf Magnolia? I do not know but there are several in the area

This is a test of my three main lenses all taken in AF with the minimum shooting distance. I will let you all decide what you think works best. First my Tokina 35mm macro
Next is my Nikon 50 1.8d I have to step back to achieve focus here.
Now my 16-85, first at 34mm
and the same lens a 48 mm. Surprisingly
, this lens focuses about 3" closer than the 50mm

Thanks Roy, so do I. That lens will minimum focus at 5.5". I think it did the best job. At that v
focal length it is easy to block your light and you have to orient yourself so you cast no shadow. Sometimes you can miss a shot because of that but otherwise it does very well.
Went to the woods again just to see my big leaf magnolia. the leaves are already quite large
Looking closer I see a bud! it has not yet bloomed
But, i leave tomorrow for the Blue Ridge parkway and will not be back until next Sunday. if it blooms and fades while I am gone I will just spit. Might find one in bloom down in North Carolina; we will just have to see.

I hope not. I will check it on Sunday as soon as I return.
If ever a road could be described as America's longest scenic route it is the Blue Ridge Parkway
from scenic views
to stately trees
and so many flowering shrubs like the ever-present rhody
the magnificent flame azalea
not to mention the mountain laurel
Even a short ride don the Parkway is a visual delight.
