In the spring, the dogwood trees come to life, bursting out white flowers for a few days before the leaves emerge.
It's not spring, but when I looked out the kitchen window this morning, the dogwood tree branches were tipped with white. At some point, large wet snowflakes had fallen, stuck to the twigs, and then froze. Why they clustered on the branch tips more than on the rest of the tree, I don't know, but the effect was as if the tree had flowered overnight.
The world is a very interesting place, if it's paid attention.
