I find the magnolia a subject of endless fascination and I never tire of photographing them. I have dozens of photographs similar to this one, and fully intend to accumulate many, many more before I leave the scene. Magnolias are native to the Deep South, but it seems that many people cut down the ones in their yard, replacing them with non-native species. Ugh. Anyway, the first flowers are starting to appear now and they will continue into early June.
