Magnolias

I think I can safely say that magnolias are my favorite flowering tree. After passing countless gorgeous specimens (all on private land), I was finally able to capture some blossoms at a public location. They're not so easy to find in public places, I'm discovering. We took a bold step and planted our own little magnolia in our yard this year - I'm looking forward to enjoying it (and photographing it) for many years to come.
