Past Peak Magnolias

Both the rain and magnolia petals were falling today in D.C. The blossoms were still beautiful on this gray day at Rawlins Park. They are about to be eclipsed by the cherry blossoms.

@davydo Hi Dave, Yes, there was a biker in a red shirt looking in on the magnolias in the background. I toyed with "removing" him, but decided to leave him in. :)
