History of the Dogwood

For years now the one flower that I love to photograph is the Dogwood Blossom. For me it is one of the most amazing flowers with such a unique texture, coloration and beauty. My photography of the Dogwood Blossom has changed a lot throughout the years. But again, so has my camera. The one thing that remains is the beauty I seen in them. The Dogwood Tree has a very long history; they say at the time of the Jesus' Crucifixion, the dogwood tree was comparable to the size of the mighty oak tree. Because of its firmness and strength it was used as the Cross that Jesus was crucified on. Although there are no direct accounts of this, it is known that dogwood trees did grow in the areas surrounding Jerusalem during this time period. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Georgia Covered Bridges

I have always had this love for covered bridges. They hold a lot of history and have seen more than most eyes could imagine. A Covered Bridge also holds a lot of mystery and often are considered spooky and haunting. Since I have been so involved with photography lately, my husband and I have been a lot of research on local covered bridges in Georgia. So far we have found four of them and each one has been a joy to visit and to photograph. The one thing that saddens me is all of the vandalism-I have a hard understanding why some people would want to be so mean as to destroy a Historical Landmark. This page is about the Covered Bridges we have been able to find so far. I also added a brief history of the bridge. I will be adding more to this page as time allows and as we find more.
