I took a walkabout yesterday in the afternoon where I can get some great shadows and also great light!

And behold, I saw a star magnolia tree (I believe..I googled it too) which blooms white and pink flowers in late February and early Spring. I know when spring is coming when I see their blooms. And perhaps what’s cool about the shot I got was the moon in the center. If you can see I was looking directly up into the tree and caught the moon! Stellar magnolia, stellar moon! EEEEE! I also love watching the petals fall magnetically to the ground. That’s probably the most beautiful part, knowing that their beauty is very fleeting…you only see them bloom this time of year (I believe…that’s really the only time I’ve seen them bloom). But I’m glad to have witnessed it.

Stellar Magnolia Tree!

It has some of the most beautiful flowers!

Oh what do I see…

oh hi crescent moon!

I feel like I got distracted by the moon…ooop!

The petals falling with the wind is just something I can’t capture on camera…you just have to witness it yourself.
