Dogwood Blossom

"The Poet's garden is the world, 

 Or where in pomp the clouds are hurled 

 In wreaths of glory, high upborne ! 

 Sun, moon, and stars ; the dewy morn, 

 The lark's loud lay ; all fragrant flowers, 

 The fleecy winter summer's showers ; 

 All blend harmonious in his verse 

 His garden is the UNIVERSE !" 

 James Rigg (1897)

Wikipedia tells me:

The Seven Foot Knoll Light was built in 1855 and is the oldest screw-pile lighthouse in Maryland. It was located atop Seven Foot Knoll in the Chesapeake Bay until it was replaced by a modern navigational aid and relocated to Baltimore's Inner Harbor as a museum exhibit.

The Three Sisters - Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
