Magnolia Old and New

I had a simpler composition with just the fresh beauty but, given my age, I figured I shouldn't make the old disappear. There is still beauty in her!
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs. I'm off for an adventure with @taffy and we may or may not have ability to post while we are gone, but I bet we will have fun.
