    Good Morning Sweetie...
    You are so right. How magnificent is this beautiful tree. The blooms are just opening, and I bet the smell is absolutely wonderful. I could be content to be right under this tree in a hammock and watch beauty come to life. It is truly GORGEOUS. Thank you for sharing.

    You should pop over to Claudia's and add your link so that you can share this beauty with each and everyone that comes to the Blog post. They would so love your post too.

    Happy Easter sweetie. Country hugs and so much love...Sherry

    Happy Easter to you!!!! Are you going to have a feast? We usually go south for the holiday but this year we are staying up north...which means Piemontese food. I won't complain as I am not cooking! :-)

    I love magnolias. They always make me think of home as my parents have a lovely one in their front garden.

    I had a tree similar to that in New Orleans! I loved the first buds. Actually all of them! Here in Central America, our seasons are quite different. It's very dry so it's only the mango trees that are nice now. Full of fruit. Good shot.
