The tulip magnolia blooms tend to be among the first signs of spring each year. They are so diverse, it is difficult not to want to stop and photograph them. These are the fundamental experiences of our existence, why would we not want to record them? If you want to understand your art, start with the quotidian, says moi. Anyway, even though the temperatures are still pretty frosty here in the Deep South, I know a new season is about to arrive. I'm so tired of cold toes. Conditions on my walk yesterday were pretty perfect -- good enough at least to make any of my cameras look good.
Tasting notes: Photographed with a Fujifilm X30, a camera overlooked in it's day, but apparently, no longer.
