Bob created this postcard from two photographs. One was with the dogwood blossom in focus and the other was with Half Dome in focus. We combined the two to make this image and then added the text. Other than the text, this is how Bob saw this image. He was standing on the edge of Ahwanhee Meadow next to cabins and bent a branch with this dogwood blossom at the end into the frame.
Pacific dogwoods (Cornus nuttallii) bloom in Yosemite Valley in April and May. The actual flowers are in a tight cluster forming almost a dome-like structure in the middle of the "flower," while the showier part of the blossoms are actually bracts that attach under the flower cluster.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
