Dogwood, beautiful even under stress

Dogwood trees are native to Tennessee and hardy, but their shallow roots make them vulnerable to drought. This one in my neighbor's yard may be dying from lack of any rain in the past few weeks.

Around Hamburg: An August Slideshow

Go and see Dierk Haasis's Home Page for the month of August, 2010. The images he's chosen include several that will touch your heart, some that will take your breath away for their sheer beauty, and at least one that might make you laugh out loud. Don't miss the two of Hamburg's harbour bathed in blue fluorescent light, captioned "Blue Impression." And be sure you stick around for "Boing-Boing." (Hover your mouse over the pictures to see the titles and other interesting text.)
