Magnolia

One of the Magnolia flowers shedding its protective sheath and getting ready to burst with colour

Dark, dank, grey day here in the Shire, seriously ready for Spring & Summer

Indeed another dark grim day here in Suffolk too, although we are promised some sunshine....Love the details you've captured here and set off by the rain drops. fav

Excellent shot mate. Same here with the greyness. Fed up of it all now 😕
