Dogwood Rain © William Britten use with permission only
Dogwood Rain is from the Tremont area of the Smoky Mountains National Park, which is one of my favorite locations. The photograph was taken in a light drizzle, umbrella in hand. With the rainy mist hanging over the creek, and the focus on the dogwood blooms on the overhanging branch, the photo has a sense of dimension.
The road to Tremont is a left turn just past the Townsend entrance to the Smoky Mountains, going west towards Cades Cove. After the road turns to gravel, this view presents itself on a sharp curve, with an unobstructed view of the Middle Prong of the Little River. If the dogwoods blooms are at their peak, (second and third weeks of April), and the light is good, it’s a simple matter to set up a tripod and take the shot.
Dogwood Rain is offered in all sizes. Details of sizes and pricing can be found on at the bottom of the Gatlinburg Gallery page.

I live in Gatlinburg TN, on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains. The Smokies are a very spiritual place, and I attempt to capture some of that spirit in each of my photographs.

Those dates should be perfect. With a warm spring, it could be earlier, but normally it falls between April 15th and 25th for the peak dogwoods.
