little gem magnolia day 2

If you missed the first photo of this just opening up, go here. It is really quite something. I had such fun photographing this magnolia the first day, I came back and did it again on the second day. I think my friend frieda has been an influence on me!! She did a wonderful series on an amaryllis.

How fair is a garden amid the trials and passions of existence. ~Benjamin Disraeli
