Emerging

We have one of my favorite spring trees in our yard, the royal star magnolia. Trouble is ours is really just a shrub. The buds are slowly emerging from their fuzzy pods.

It rather looks like a creepy eye.

How beautiful, it looks like it has a fur coat on (which it does really!)

[Lesley Aldridge]

A fav.
