My Spring Tradition Continues: Royal Star Magnolia

This is one of the first blooms of the season around here in Ohio. And they are some of my favorites, big and creamy white. Simply gorgeous.

And for the past 4 springs living here, I have captured it every year. And the timing of the blooms keeps getting earlier and earlier...

Here were my previous shots of this amazing tree in the spring:
