Alaska Dogwood

My grandmother loved flowers, and was always taking photographs of them. These dogwood were early subjects of an obsession that went on her entire life. Everytime someone would send a bouquet she would photograph the flowers and cards. Huge stack of them when she passed. Wildflowers were a special treat, and these dogwood surely made for a lovely sight. They are a woodlands flower that loves to peek out from beneath the spruce trees, a lovely splash of white in the shade of the forest. Taken in Seward, Alaska around 1947.
