Tour De Frozen Dogwoods

I ride my bike on Cherokee Boulevard fairly often. For those unfamiliar with the area, it’s a 2.6 mile divided road that goes through a residential area and along the Tennessee River. It’s one of the more popular spots in Knoxville for cyclists, joggers, and walkers. There’s a park bordering the water.
I like riding there because: (1) the traffic is relatively safer (slower paced with room for vehicles to pass), and (2) it has a mixture of hills and flats. Did I mention the female joggers? I typically do several out-and-backs.
Yesterday I took my camera along and took a few pictures of what was left of the spring blossoms. I should have done this last week, as the weekend freeze really took a toll on the colors. But here’s what was left.
