Magnolia tree

We spent today at the house in Holland with our eldest son. He had told me that the magnolia tree is starting to bloom, and I knew I wanted to Blip that. Unfortunately my headache is really bad, I had a lumbar puncture yesterday and apparently I belong to the 20 percent who get headaches from that. So I've been lying flat in bed for as much as I could instead of photographing the garden and that tree from all corners. While I was up there was a Jay that sat on one of the branches, I've uploaded a picture of the Jay t in my Blipfolio.

Sorry that I can't comment as much as I want, right now, very fiddly via the iPad and I can't sit up for long, hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow
