The Magnolia tree is busier than I first thought. I saw a beautiful perfectly formed blossom on my Tully walk this morning. When I went back with my camera, 10 minutes later, the blossom had already opened up further. While I spent a quiet 45 minutes observing and photographing the tree I was struck by the visual passage of time. The above image is the beginnings of a tightly bound bud, not quite ready to emerge.
My morning blossom opening itself to me, the fragrance is beyond wonderful. So sweet...
and my favorite, the aftermath of a blossom too shortly lived. I especially love the dried magnolia hat hanging on, not ready to let it go.
